I'm in an argument with someone online, he doesn't believe these fish are considered rare. He's saying he can drive to his LFS and buy these fish any day of the week, he's also claiming they are very common in the hobby and easily attainable. Just want confirmation that I'm not incorrect in saying that these:

P13 rays
P14 rays
Hybrid rays
Widebar silver dollars
Azul pbass
Intermedia pbass
Orino pbass
AUL
Tigrinus cat
Tropical gar
Cuban gar
Spotted gar
Leichardti arowana
Platinum barramundi
Platinum silver aro
Golden dorado
Black bar silver dollar
Arapaima

Thanks, just want to make sure I'm not going crazy

I wouldn't say that's all necessarily that rare of a list. To acquire some of the species will take a large pile of cash and the right connections but nothing someone who has the resources can't get.
Vince has been offered short body st, platinum dats, and I'm sure a few other fish. Jay is the same way in knowing the right people who know he's willing to pay. You have to pay to get into the circle because of the large amounts of pictures collectors and flakes that weren't ever planing on buying the fish anyway.
