Been looking for one of these for well over six months. It seems they just aren't coming in locally so I am considering ordering one on-line. Haven't ever ordered fish on-line before as i usually prefer to see the fish eating etc in a local store. Was hoping someone could give me a couple of places that they might have had a good experience with. BTW marine depot live and LiveAquaria do not have them in stock either.

I haven't seen any in a while as well, too bad they are such a nice fish. Dunno if it has anything to do with the tropical storm season or not, where's Gresham?

Bryan, BlueZooAquatics has them in stock. I almost purchased my fish from them when I first got into the hobby a year and a half ago and they were very professional and courtious. I have purchased dry goods from them with out any issues but it's been a while now. They have some cool yuma's and ric's in stock that I haven't seen around here so let me know if you decide to order from them.

Chris at Aquatic Central has three of them, he got them so Bryan could have his pick of the litter.

Yeah Chris said he already let Bryan know when I talked to him a few days ago.

Yep. I am supposed to pick it up on Sunday as I don't think I will be able to get by there during the week or Sat due to the BOD meeting. Guess there was some sort of a radiant catching spree cause max told me he was getting in about 8.

Picked up a very nice radiant from Chris today. He has 2 more nice ones if anyone is interested. Also had several other nice wrasses. Put him in my tank and he did what all wrasses do at first ..burried himself in the sand. Will take some pics once he comes out in a couple of days.

I have officially become a wrasse man. 4 of them now the six line, yellow choris wrasse, melanarus wrasse, and finally the radiant. My tank is starting to look like Lap's at least as far as fish go.

Wrasses are a good choice, they are so much fun to watch, it's like they are thinking, not just swimming around.

Mine too. That melanarus I got from you is a very close second.

I might have to look into getting one of them. I have a yellow wrasse "which i was given on a wimb" and I have found it a fun fish to watch.
