Yes ordered 5, with it being the weekend and no fish in sight, I have no idea when they will show.

Have you got a shipping confirmation yet? They initially emailed me back but my order was suppose to be delivered Friday and they have gone completely silent.

emailing with a guy today, supposed to be delivered Wednesday. This guy has a title of General Manager. Been my experience a GM wouldn't normally be the guy lining up shipping for a fish. I'm guessing they are overwhelmed with orders.
We shall see.

I'm a little worried as I've sent emails to 4 different address without a response from any in 4 days. I'm really making an effort to be as polite as possible because they are my only option, but something is going to have to change soon. I feel like I'm being scammed at this point.

The fish are in! They look healthy. Heads are slightly white but still quite yellow. they are very young so we will see how the color does and if there is any hlle. All and all I am pleased with how they are so far and will post on their progress in the future. To the tang police, this is a quarantine tank.

Look good. Mine has pale head as well, I don't think it's HLLE. I was really nervous when it first arrived, pale little fish. Looks better and better everyday.

The upside is that you're not destroying the environment. There is a reason Hawaii banned fish exports.

Yep. I'm doing as much CB and aquacultured as possible. I have a wc wrasse and tomini and a supposedly maricultured trachy. Everything else is aquacultured or captive bred. I was at piece with shelling out $100 pre ban for a CB YT. I wasn't happy about it but it was what I wanted to do, having to spend 150 now hurt but it's just $50 in a very expensive hobby.

Yep I see no hlle but cannot rule it out while they develop. Mine are eating flakes, nori, tiny pellets, and frozen.Look good. Mine has pale head as well, I don't think it's HLLE. I was really nervous when it first arrived, pale little fish. Looks better and better everyday.

That's pretty dramatic. Yellow tang collection wasn't destroying the environment. Most of Hawaii was already protected, and fish collectors were licensed. Hawaii is the most studied and protected fishery in the world. The citizens voted that they didn't want any fish to leave the island. The decision was sociological and political, and not an issue of sustainability. There are examples of sustainable fisheries all over the place. And in many of those places, the licenses pay for conservation of wildlife.
