there's a bunch at Aquarium Illusions too but I can't remember the price. They've been there for several weeks but they're in the back room hanging out in the coral farm tanks.

Purchase captive bred please, these things breed like rabbits. I currently have 8 in my fuge that have grown and survived off of crud from my main tank.

Although plentiful in certain areas in their natural habitat they have become endangered from over collection practices.

The major problem you run into is the price point, vendors are selling wild caught for cheaper than captive bred enticing the market to purchase wild. As more sell the market price for wild is driven down, this creates a nasty little loop of over collection @ cheap prices. If you can wait a while i can ship you 6 of mine, they still have some growing to do (currently about the size of a loonie). An added benefit is they have been schooling from the get go, not sure about group dynamics as they age though.

I am pretty patient. I'd really like to buy captive bred.

What time frame did you have in mind?

I'd come down and get them I think. Shipping scares a bit.
