Where can I find Marginalis Butterfly?

[josvanmeer]

So I have been looking around for a Marginalis Butterfly fish; and I cannot seem to find any, are they that rare? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

They are Austrailian and extremely expensive. Not sure where you could get them. My LFS had some once. $250 per. They got them from an Aussie distributor.

I am looking for this fish specifically so I am willing to pay up. Just wanting to know where in the world they actually sell this specimen

I can ask my LFS what distributor they got them from and perhaps you can convince your LFS to get them from there.

Awesome! Really appreciate it. Now I would have pressed order right away if it wasnt for the fact fedex and ups are reporting delays and I will not risk or order livestock till the holidays are over. I will check back after the holidays when packages slow down, at least I know they can get their hands on one. Im sure this specimen will be gone by then, but I can wait. Thanks for the heads up!

Whelp I guess I am late to the party.

My LFS wasn't very helpful. He just said that he wasn't seeing it on his stocking list and he hadn't seen them in a while. He also didn't give me the person that he was using in Austrailia.

All is well that ends well.

I actually went by my lfs today, finally. Work has been crazy. They can order that fish! The importer is Quality Marine so if they dont have it at the time I will have to wait of course, but we will see

I saw them on their website yesterday. Yall are pretty quick to help here, I appreciate it!

 

[mottomegl]

I buy my fish there they refuse to sell fish that are not eating and the fish are just high quality

 

[josvanmeer]

For anyone reading this, y'all can stop looking
I just ordered a Marginalis from TSM Aquatics. It had a very hefty pricetag but I think it will be worth it.

Is this fish reef safe at all

Is this fish reef safe at all

probably right around the same range as copperbands and the yellow longnose. might eat some acans, probably pretty safe otherwise
