I know theres threads out there like this but i wanna make it a lil different.... outlawed fish are a no go except if permit allows and it doesnt have to be just cuz is a rare fish it can also be because your lf just doesnt order them or they are just hard to get due to high demand.



For me it would have to be the following-
-lately the wolf fish is hard to get in the albany ny area
-any type of lungfish but i managed to get one
-RBP due to permit denial 2 times
-tiger shovelnose
-theres a few more but the ones listed are the ones becoming harder to find here

I live in the middle of Kansas so.....

My options are limited, the local PetCo has a somewhat decent fish department, but there selection is pretty weak.

the only LFS sells mainly community fish, thankfully he is willing to order things in, but his supplier doesnt have a very wide variety.

If you can justify the shipping costs, you always have the internet and vendors in the MFK marketplace.
 
where do u go to finde your fish? i livein schenectady and can finde those fish on a regular.

Healthy oddballs in general.. Most FW fish I can find, takes abit of patience for the rarer stuff. But thats to be expected.. but the condition overall is pretty poor. either from shipping or poor husbandry at the LFS in general.
 
Add Stotmapods to that
 
I go everywhere from, eddies, union,davey jones, pet supplies. Davey jones has a wolf but they over charge for everything compared to the other places.WHere do you see those fish on a regular basis
