Barlett's and Bicolors come mostly from Christmas Island (just transhipped through Hawaii). While there is a Hawaiian ventralis anthias - you can also get these from Christmas and Marshall Islands.

Just curious.... I assume most of the Tinkers collected for the trade are from Hawaii?

 

[Luiz Rocha]

The most common fish in the marine aquarium trade comes from Hawaii.

Bicolors are local fish. And ventralis are very difficult to get here.

Dont get upset yet... It will be a while before a ban

 

[LargeAngels]

Fishers, potters and bandit angel. Potters, red tail/psych head and flame wrasse. Are some of my only from Hawaii. I also prefer the Achilles, moorish idol, flame angel and dwarf eel from there.

The quality of fish from Hawaii is outstanding.

I hope you're right about that because I was about to rush out and get a chevron tang if I was facing the possibility of never being able to acquire one of those beauties ever again.

The lion fish from Hawaii is really nice. Also the sunset hog.

 

[small alien]

Whitley's Boxfish

 

[pacislandaqua]

The Ban situation is a touchy one here... No one knows what is going on. lol

Never wait for a fish. If you see it and want it/can care for it, why wait?

sphex lions are really cool but very hard to get here. More common is the green lion, which are awesome when small, but get ugly when bigger. lol

 

[BANDIT ANGEL]

The crown jewel of Hawaiian fish is definately Genicanthus personatus
I heard that a collector in Taiwan is going to fetch some this summer
