It's ok - thanks for the offer though. I gave up waiting and went with a virgatus instead. Very similar. I just like the blue on doliatus (they have more blue) and of the virgatus and doliatus I've had in the past, the doliatus was a better eater of valonia. What's especially funny about that is that because the rabbitfish ate valonia, so did my sailfin tang (it's like he got irritated that someone was eating food - and if there's food to be had then by golly he gets dibs on it - but after a moment of weakness and I sold the doliatus, the tang was like "Oh thank goodness I don't have to eat that crap anymore. It tasted terrible!")

I'm not sure how easy it would be to take a fish on a plane. If it's carryon then they're going to want to xray the package which seems like a bad idea for the fish - and if it goes in the hold then it has to be an extra piece of luggage and hopefully it's all insulated and heated ok - and some airlines don't let you carry saltwater on the plane because of its corrosiveness - I'm not sure how the industry gets to ship the stuff but probably for the most part it's part of the freight arrangement between companies - that may not extend to passenger traffic. Basically it sounds like a hassle to me.

Thanks for the offer though! Hopefully one day an LFS over here will see one on the list and remember my request - although I doubt it
