The LFS got some in but i was wondering if they were rare.
I have pics if you want to see them.
 
I don't think they're very rare. I've been to 3 different shops in my area that have all had platinum angels and they were selling them for $5-$6 each for 2-3 inch ones.

The thing with angels is that they're so easy to breed. It's a lot more common to find a platinum angel than a platinum datnoid or barramundi because those fish can't breed or are very hard to breed at farms.
 
Not rare and not very interesting looking either IMO I like the natural striped angels the best. BTW although Angel Fish are SA cichlids there is a section for Angle Fish and Discus.
