What fish are you looking for but just cannot seem to find?

[jasonp87]

One of the fish I have wanted is a radiant wrasse, but I normally don't have a hard time finding them, it's buying them. The first one was purchased by someone else on my way to the store, the second had a rock dropped on it at the store and the third died during a tank move I was getting it from. A fourth died on me in quarantine. I just haven't had much luck with that fish.

A yellow fish that only gets about 4", is peaceful and appropriate for a sps reef with no sand bed.

I think a midas blenny would fit that description......

I checked that midas blenny out on liveaquaria. Says it may nip at firefish. I have a firefish in that tank. Wouldn't want my little firefish being nipped at.

I have considered a yellow candy hogfish, or a pyramid butterflyfish.

Quinquevittatum wrasse for me. Been looking for a year. My LFS had one about 3 months ago - gorgeous. Had them bag it up for me and it literally died from fright in the bag. Thought he was just playing dead so when I got home I did a drip acclimation and put him in my tank. When my other fish started eating it and it didn't react, I knew it was dead for real. Haven't found another one since, either locally or online.

looking for the tiniest porcupine puffer, to grow again in my tank.

had the most docile puffer that didn't even touch any of my various nano fish before. wasn't aggressive with any fish, actually broke up fights between blennies. Also would teach my baby humu how to behave in the 37 gallon. The humu followed him around, watched and learned from him. wife and I were so saddened when he passed. best fish we EVER had in all the years of me being into fish.

Puffers are way too awesome. They truly become less like fish and more like pets. I'm sorry to hear you lost yours.
My valentini is very docile too and definitely my favourite fish

Fwiw, My midas leaves my firefish alone.

Gold Assessor would fit that, I have one and it leaves my other fish, corals and inverts alone. Plus it likes to swim upside down which is a lot of fun to watch.

Also wanted assessors, just too expensive for a fish that hides a lot and lurks in the caves, thanks for the kind words Tyler.

My wife and I have been tempted so many times when we find a Porq Puffer, but most of the time its too big for our tank. I usually buy the smallest version of the fish were interested in so that we can keep it the longer in our tank before it gets too big and would have to donate to fellow reefers in our area. Plus I'm warry of any new puffer that I would buy as I don't know its own personality and whether he would ravage my tank and its co-habitants. I have a baby jewel toby there right now that behaving with a 2 " sized hover craft box fish that doesn't bother any coral, inverts nor wrasse they are with..

the fish I cant seem to find anymore are warpaint gobies. I would love to have another pair

gold assessor commonly available at petco for less than $50 mine is always out and about have had him for a few years

 

[thedove27]

I'd love a cod or haddock hard to find in the north sea now

 

[thatfishnerd]

My dream fish is the helfrichi firefish, can't ever find one at my LFS though

A yellow assessor would also be perfect. They don't get much bigger than 2" or so. And have a unique habit of swimming upside down and sideways.
