Common fish that are hard to find

We have chains here mainly. There's one place that can order but I'm very picky. You can usually grab an Oscar, gt etc, but I feel the quality is poor unless it's a top notch LFS.
Personally I'd rather give my money to Rapps, COTA, Wetspot, & a few others for quality livestock. If you want a true red devil you don't have much of a choice.

I very rarely see "common" goldfish. Most of the cheap goldfish that I see in fish stores are "comet" goldfish, which are similar, but have longer tails.
Yepper, agreed.
TUIC and COTA are the guys I'm going to when I stock my new 300. When I invest this much energy into a build I want to buy the best stock I can find.
Andinoacara coeruleopunctatus seem to be found everywhere in panama but they never seem to be avaliable.
I just wanted to comment that I went the online route after a bad LFS experience and I feel bad that if probably never go back to the LFS, even though there are others ones that look like they have quality stock.
As long as I order enough, it's actually cheaper for me to order online.
I've used Liveaquaria's Divers Den and Imperial Tropicals. Liveaquaria DD is how I started bc though they are more expensive, their Divers Den fish are quarantined and have a 14 day guarantee. The regular version also has the 14 day guarantee. Imperial Tropicals only changes $9.99 shipping (as long as it's not too cold) with a live arrival guarantee.
I'll probably order from Wetspot eventually but their shipping can be really expensive ($50+) unless you live near them. They did have a great Cyber Monday shiplshi promo that I'll try to use in 2019.
I also save on 10% tax online, though I brlibel legislation is changing that .
