Just for you Tony:

and

Thanks, but I've seen those! :) I want to see Canreefers pictures! ;)

(Believe me - in 12 months of waiting for this fish to arrive at one of the 6 stores I've asked to watch out for one for me - I've learned to be VERY obsessive compulsive about it! Probably not a day doesn't go by where I don't google this fish.)

...and here I thought I was bad when I'm waiting on fish, clams, or corals. I have to say I think you take the proverbial cake!

I can ask my friend if he wants to part with one, but I highly doubt it. They're his super deluxe prize fishes.

albert always comes through with the goods, lol.

So they DO exist!! Darn, there goes my conspiracy theory out the window ... ;) Thanks for the picture! :cool:

Updated pic of my S. virgatus:

I thought it was a good comparison shot of the dots on the back, compared to the "blue zebra stripes" of the doliatus. My hunt for doliatus continues for now ...

And another whole year goes by and not one, not one, not one Siganus doliatus anywhere. :neutral: <Sigh ...> Did I mention .. not one? Come on retailers! This is silly.

Anyone want to show pictures of theirs? Come on, there has to be someone out there with this fish.

I want to see more photos of a doliatus! Everytime I see rabbitfish I think of your hunt Tony. Your making me want one, or two!
