Rarest Fish(es) in the Hobby?

[redtailfool]

So what do you think they are? Anybody has something that they have been looking for years but could not succesfully find?

Please note that we are going to discuss fish that hobbyists keep but are very rare. Morphs and variations can be included .. but emphasis should be on a particular species.

AGT - the zebras are getting rarer now. Just saw a couple last year here at my local lfs.

I have been watching for some aussie natives in the galaxia genus for years, never a serious search but just keeping an eye out for. They are the jelly bean jollytail (G. fuscus) and the striped jollytail (G. nigrostriata), they are just little guys but I would like some. Unfortunately I think they are both protected species now.
