Best current source for anglers?

[Treehrtsme]

Normally I would go for a trusted lfs but they just don't seem to be able to get them. Any recommendations or past experiences with specific websites? There's one lfs in my area that occasionally gets in interesting specimens but for some reason they're either sold or gone next time I come by so not much chance to observe. I'm taking leafish frondosas etc. Had an 8 inch pink, what I assume must have have been a comersoni angler, but it had only been there for a week and with them constantly getting in larger specimens out makes me wonder how much longer they'll live in captivity.

Divers den has been dead for awhile now so I don't know if there's a good site for having these shipped, or certain ones I should start away from. Looking for a wartskin preferably

Have you actually asked your LFS of choice if they'll order/hold one for you, maybe with a deposit? We have a handful of pretty decent ones around town, depending on what side you're on.

Someone else in the ARC forums has recently picked up a stone fish, but I believe they ordered it online, which admittedly I'm rapidly growing leery of thanks to all the horror stories I'm seeing, at least half of which are due to delivery services being lazy/incompetent.

Oh. He got it from LiveAquaria, FWIW: https://www.liveaquaria.com/divers-den/product/638274/reef-stonefish

I don't have any recent personal experience with them and won't engage in hearsay, but I'd say do your research if you don't already have an opinion, like with anywhere else.
