Where to buy a atlantic blue?

[randomfishdude]

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good reliable place to buy a atlantic blue. That's not 300$ for a 3 inch one.
I don't care if it's a juvenile.

I do so have a question to add.. I saw them when diving in aruba and do they turn back amd forth between white and blue in the tank when not stressed or was that stress relate?
Thanks!

Thank you,
Does it matter how far they ship it from?

It could, shorter routes have fewer points to screw up and missort it. I try to purchase even dry goods close to home if I want them quickly.

Mine did not change color except for the normal change from juvenile to adult. My issue was that it was extremely aggressive to the point that I had to get rid of it to save my other fish. Also get very large.

The biggest fish in the tank currently and planned is the 3-4 inch one spot foxface.
All the rest are smaller.
Im not even concerned about the foxface doing anything id be concerned about the single blue damsel. But he might have learned the lesson when i added the foxface when his frend tried to mess with the foxface... but that didn't go well for his frend.
Not at all.

Atlantic blues can reach 6 - 8 inches depending on tank size.

Yep and that's what I'm hoping for in the future.

I think I might get from them.

But I don't know whether to get a juvenile or a young adult(2.5-4 inch)
