Buying Looking for A. borelli sp. Opal in NE FL

[Jaxfisher]

Does anyone have a contact that ships within the US for A. Borelli sp. Opal? I have wanted this fish for years and decided that the time is here. I had Belle Unions a couple of years ago and, while they are pretty, it's the Opal that I want. Thanks.

Opals are a rather common color strain. They're usually listed on Aquabid and at Wet Spot.

Thanks; I watch both sources, but they usually want to sell pairs (imports) and I prefer a breeder where I can get a small group & allow them to pair on their own. They are harder to find that you think.

I don't quite understand. Many sellers on aquabid are hobbyists. These hobby breeder usually are willing to accommodate reasonable requests if they can. Just write to them. Commercial site maybe less accommodating because they often get their fish in pairs. Still you could ask. They often end up with extras of on sex. All they can say is "sorry, no". In this case you can just buy several pairs and let the fish sort themselves out and then get rid of any extras.
