    There were more at the wholesalers, so others may have them. There's a whole 'nother load of aquarists that don't participate in any forum boards.

    Very cool. I made my LFS aware of this species after Incognito's post so hopefully they will stock one. I too think they are a completely awesome fish. One day...

    I'd say for every 1 person keeping a marine tank on their own in my area there are another 5 that pay someone to do it for them. One particular company (not my LFS) in the area pretty much has a monopoly on the trade. It's quite depressing really.
