Maybe I am just nuts? Maybe I am to demanding? I have looked for several differant fishes with the same result. Where is the best place to find fishes that no one seems to carry? Anyone else have a problem ordering or getting the livestock they want?

Maybe I just need to learn some patience.

some fish are only available certain times of the year.

I found a couple fish I like on the divers den. Still looking for one tho.

Fall starts the time when the availabilty list gets shorter. I can't even get regal tangs anymore and probably won't be able to until spring now.

I have seen those fish at LFS around except for the white tail tang. just a matter of looking around

My LFS will have one really good week and then won't have much for a week or two. Right now they have some really beautiful naso's, but I would not pay what they are asking for them.

I feel a little better now.

Now all I need is my twinspot lion & I'm good for a couple more weeks.

Thanks. The wife found it in the divers den. She had to have it. Coolest one I have seen.

This is a very frustrating hobby!

The wifes angler looks like its not gonna make it. I called l.a. & they said the gulp air somtime & feed it a pea. So see what happens. Anyone else hear of feeding afish a pea?

Kenn · « **Reply #19 on:** October 08, 2012, 19:23:20 »

Wow ...had to look that one up. never heard of it before but apparently it is a common practice.

who would have thunk it

micki · « **Reply #20 on:** October 08, 2012, 21:12:26 »

When I snorkel in Florida we feed peas to the fish all the time!

Twizted1 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 09, 2012, 07:27:18 »

The angler didn't make it. The guy @ l.a. said this is a common problem with anglers? How do you gulp in air when your under water?

micki · « **Reply #22 on:** October 09, 2012, 12:01:33 »

Bummer... Will they replace it for you?

Twizted1 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 09, 2012, 15:20:28 »

There is no replacement. That was kind of a 1 of a kind color. They was offered a refund, but, I just put it on credit with them. I figure as much I spend may as well have some $ on hand there for when I run the checking account dry.

Twizted1 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 09, 2012, 16:15:43 »

We are not far from free shipping on l.a. We are ggoing to be watching the divers den closely. So if there is somehting someone wants, they could save on shiping. Just need to know ahead of time. Never know when a fish we have to have will come up.
