What is the longest you have waited for a fish?

HI

I was just how, long is the longest time you have had to wait for a fish you ordered from your LFS?

When i first started out some 20 odd years ago, monster fish weren't common
at least not in Denmark, so when i went to my LFS and ordered some Hoplias Malabaricus, i had to wait 6 YEARS!!..that was a long time!!...they were worth it though

Couple weeks for a breeding group of scarlet badis...

I had to wait 12 weeks or so before I could find a male convict. They just didnt have them in my area at the time.

9 months, I put down a deposit on a black arowana at my lfs and I never even got one. I got one off the net instead.

Ive been at this for 30+ years and there are STILL fish that I'm waiting to one day own... However the longest I've ever waited for a special order was 4 months...

Many shops around my area consider these fish trash. Now, the funny thing is that for the past 3 months, almost every shop has at least a male convict. Some shops are even getting in some nice looking pink ones in. I might trade in my regular cons for a pink female.
