[cornbread_5]

The title speaks for itself I was just curious what are some hard to get fish that are in demand right now either in lfs or online. I know Istlanum and beani are hard to get and sought after. Well as far as my lfs i would say true red terrors , everytime i go to lfs and they say they have red terrors it is always the false one or the mayan cichlid, Aslo grammodes , i seen one lfs with some and i should of hopped on it they were decent size two like 5 inches

everything illegal is not hard to get like piranhas are really not that hard to get

im pretty sure he means country illegal not state illegal. its hard to get asian arows in the states. but you can usually drive out of state and get some piranhas.

The holy grail of fish would hafta be a leucistic Hyrdrolycus armatus. never seen or heard of one but if one ever popped up it would demand in the 6 digits.

Moorish Idol's are hailed to be the hardest fish to keep alive. Hence, not many people have em. It's too bad too, they are gorgeous.
