Has anyone heard when these will be available again in the US? I have been waiting n waiting for them, but noone seems to have them for sale yet.

I posted awhile ago and included pics on page 7. My photography has gotten better, so I figure Herbie deserves better. Update on Herbie, still out constantly, has gotten quite large. He is the only anthias in the tank, and has lost his "knobby" third spine. With his previous home, he lived with lyretails and was a guy, now, I think maybe he went back to being a girl? I have a very aggressive purple tang, and she doesn't mess with him. But he doesn't mess with anyone either. By all accounts, he's one of the smaller fish in the 180, but he's well over 4 inches now. Just like a puppy dog, follows me around the tank. I noticed some newer questions, and I can answer some of them for my tank. He's in a highly lit mixed reef tank, with temps running between 78-82.

Well.... Got my Borbs on Friday and my trio turned out to only be a duo as the wholesaler only sent on two not three 
. However, they are stunning and apart from still being very shy, are doing great in the tank and eating like pigs! Anyway, here's a couple of shots.
Just to prove there are actually two of them
A nice shot of the larger and bolder of the two.
Expect more shots as they start to swim around the tank a bit more.

Is anyone from Canada, (Specifically Toronto/London area) that knows where I can purchase 3-5 of these beauties. I have been watching on Divers Den for ages and building a tank for a year now. All I need is these... Please PM if you know of some for sale, thank you!

Pretty sure if Dr. Suess had a reef tank these would be in it!

Here are the 2 that arrived to me yesterday. The larger came in with a swim bladder issue and I did not expect ti to live through the day. To my surprise this morning it was out and swimming. Right now they are a bit shy an will only accept mysis and live brine. What is everyone getting theres to eat?
Swim bladder issue
This morning up and doing good

DD basically never has more than one up at a time, and they maybe put up 5-6 total in the past year (could be a few more, but definitely not many). If you want 3-5 you are better off just talking to a LFS to see if they'll order some for you.
Also, I'm not sure if you know or not, but the price in Canada seems way, way higher than what it is in the US. Last time I saw them listed they were something like $300-400 vs. the $100 they were in the US during peak season last year.
