Potter’s Angel Availibility

Anybody have any idea if/when these fish will cycle back in stock? Is it a seasonal thing?

Hawaii ban. Currently unobtainable in continental US. Were pretty common before. There are still some floating around, but they’re gonna be from tank tear-downs. I don’t think there’s been commercial breeding, at least not on a large scale.

Ah, bummer. I thought they had lifted the ban. Thanks for the info!

There’s a thread around here, but it’s all tied up in the courts and moving slow as mud.

Ban was lifted, but no permits have been issued yet.

Biota breeds Potter's Angels, but are rarely available, and VERY expensive when they are.

Ah. Thanks, friends. Red tape!

We are working on it. Technically we were never actually banned. It’s a common misconception. The fishery was asked to do environmental review which has long been completed. There’s a meeting this Friday in regards to getting fishery activated again

And yes, Potters angelfish will be available again. The fish isn’t seasonal, there’s millions of them year-round

Ooh good news! Love the potters angel!

Good. Hopefully they will come down to an working man's price.

It’s sad to see how expensive this hobby has become. Priced beyond the reach of most

Its getting ridiculous. I think its almost cheaper to build a hot rod.
