Where can I purchase a Japanese angel?

I hate to bump an old thread, but...

I can tell you for a fact that the majority at least, and close to the vast majority, of wild interrupta die within one to two months of collection. On top of all the issies mentioned, there is a worm that infests their body cavity that has proven resistant to treatment as it is in the body cavity. These symptoms are commonly seen with wild interrupta... ask anyone who's imported them directly. The fish will otherwise look fine, yet get bloated little by little over the coarse of time, eventually perishing. Does it happen with them all? No... but the majority yes, again on top of all of the other issues.

Is there a certain time frame that this worm does its damage? Is this something that only happens once in captivity or do they perish like this in the wild as well?

I found an online retailer (local which is a plus!) that has two of these angel fish. They say they are eating well and have been in their system for about 3 weeks. They do offer a 7 day guarantee, but how worried should i be making a purchase this large?

thanks

I would prefer this Blue Morph Potters over the Japanese angel. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-10/ht/index.php
