$75 yellow tangs (pre Hawaii ban)

That was my thought exactly!

I’m still looking for a orca for my 20g

At least I have a 80g for the Sunfish I want.

That was their April Fool’s joke.

+1 to these guys (or any of the Pygmy species). It's hard to believe there are ponies smaller than the dwarfs! Also, the tiniest frogfish available.

The smallest frogfish known is Randall’s Frogfish - it grows to ~3/4” full grown. It’s definitely on my list too.

Leafy seadragon on my top list

I saw one for sale online recently! It was VERY expensive though haha. (not the algae barn April fools either) some website I found that sells sharks had them

All I want is a pink streaked wrasse! I have asked so many different places and can't find anyone that can get them anymore

Live aquaria has them sometimes. If you live in near San Diego, aquatic warehouse had ~ 4 about a month ago. I have had them before and am also a big fan of them. Super peaceful, non trouble making wrasse

Red Sea mimic blenny. Such a cool looking fish.

. I thought ORA was breeding them at one point but can never find them

 

[violetjones]

Sailfin blenny

 

[Petcrazyson]

I wish the Conspic Angel, Clarion Angel, the black sailfin blenny, and the golden canary eel were more readily available, and DEFINITELY for a lower price. Maybe just a tad bit Lol

That's the one I'm thinking about but I couldn't remember the name. Thanks for posting this. Ora and Biota need to ramp up their captive breeding programs.

Yeah, if you click to buy it it pulls up their April Fool’s message - lots of disappointed people that day.

They used to be $20!!!! Then again, I'm old.

Hogchokers and sea robins don't seem to be available in Canada despite populations in waters around Nova Scotia.

I haven't heard of these before. Very cool!

 

[JaimeAdams]

Sailfin blenny

Yes, actually these would be cool. I tried finding these several years ago with no luck.

I saw one for sale online recently! It was VERY expensive though haha. (not the algae barn April fools either) some website I found that sells sharks had them

One of my wholesale suppliers did have a couple of pairs of weedy sea dragons and a handful of singles a few months back with CITES. They were very expensive.

Sailfin blenny

Not that it makes it any easier to find, but I think that's actually a photo of a gulf signal blenny. They're on my wish list too!
