Looking for TRUE sailfin blennies

[ArowanaLover1902]

After a big hassle with the local LFS (in my build thread, not the one linked, been meaning to change that) i realize they cannot supply what I’m looking for, which is any of the emblemaria. I would really like an atlantic sailfin or better yet a gulf signal, but I’m open to others of the genus. Please help me out as I was told that I would never be able to have one for at least 6 months by the crazy LFS (who I later learned was being absurd). As stated I’m in SC but willing to ship.

They don’t have any in stock, blue zoo aquatics also sells them, but also doesn’t carry any

Just looked around a bit, everything they have seems to be out of stock

Send kp a message they may try to collect one next time out.
They collect their own stuff.

Hmm I will, hopefully they can also provide me a bit more info on the specie too

Sent them a message, thanks for the recommendation

Looks like Divers Den has an Indonesian Sailfin. But not what you are looking for?

My LFS, Aquatic Critter, has them in Nashville. They don’t ship but I guess how bad do you want one lol. Just picked up a black sailfin today.

FWIW, if you don’t give a genus/sp name to a LFS, you’re gonna have a bad time. Examples include Sailfin Tang, Sailfin Blenny, Aurora Goby, Green Goby, Bristletooth Tang, Pygmy Angelfish, etc.

@Katrina71 Here’s a better one

@nashvillian that's been on my wish list!

He does this ‘Morse code’ thing where he’ll flag about 4-5 times a second. Probably my favorite fish activity besides watching Fire Shrimp clean.
