Tanaka’s Possum Wrasse availability?

[ichthyogeek]

Are Tanaka’s Pygmy Possum Wrasses still entering the hobby? I know they’re a cryptic and therefore hard to find species, but I saw one years ago and have yet to get it out of my head to get a breeding pair one day. I haven’t seen them available for a while, so I’m not sure what happened between now and 5-6 years ago...

Planning out some potential nano tanks around 20-29 gallons, was wondering if I could find a pair/trio somewhere. I find possum wrasses to be quite interesting, although introverted, and other wrasses are too high energy. I’m not looking for recs right now, just about availability of select species.

LiveAquaria and Diver's Den has had them pretty commonly in the past, although I haven't checked in 6 months or so.

I have a Yellow-banded Possum Wrasse in a 20 nano. It's a fine community member.
Also in there is a Pink-Streaked Wrasse, which gets along fine with the possum.
