Have a great Thanksgiving all! Does anyone else remember
when Lionfish were nearly as commonly called Turkeyfish?
Showing my age I suppose... Hope y'all get enough cranberries,
dressing, and family!
To update a bit on general happenings... first for fish...
the Philippines, Fiji, and seemingly Bali areas again now,
are all weekly with fish shipments. Bali areas had bad
(too long) routing for a bit so we had been passing.
Things seem better now so it is back in the fold.
There might be Kenya and Sri Lanka next week, they are working
on it. Tonga fish as well should go off in a week or two, we think.
Vietnam is said to be near having new CITES permits for soft
coral only exports again, but it hasn't happened yet.
Fiji is said to be getting approval for coral shipping again, but
no one will show up to issue any new CITES for export. So,
being allegedly approved and getting actual permits are two
very different things. Australia has been too short of good
stock for shipping in general, for fish and corals for anything
but the most expensive stuff, which they want you to take a
bunch of other stuff to get.
We're currently working on getting the new Kupang list and photos
up as a shipment is planned for arrival LAX on Nov. 30th. As
soon as it's ready, there will be an update.
Most of all, HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!

Here is the news on what is shipping and not, currently.
In fish, the Bali and Philippines shippers are regular weekly.
Kenya is about once a month. Sri Lanka is offline at the
moment, should come back though, civil issues there.
Tonga goes monthly or so, but we are not sure for how long.
Rarely we get some Tahiti fish, Black and Achilles Tangs
primarily, expensive, but good fish. Fiji fish are weekly
to LAX. Hawai'i remains shut down. Our two good guys
there did not renew permits the last couple of years since
they could not collect or ship. We are working on
getting tanked Red Sea fish going, shipped from the
east coast, where you will be able to order just one fish
if that is all you want. Stay tuned.
In corals, Tonga has been a problem with U.S.F. & W.
at LAX. A half inch of rock at the base of a coral can
get you a ticket for undeclared Scleractinia. So, we are
not sure Tonga will last long. Vietnam is offline,
there was some smuggling of hard corals in the soft coral
only shipments, and it might not reopen. Good work
dudes. Manado, Flores, and Bali corals are all very
intermittent at best. Bali says it's too hot to ship
Acros now. Fiji remains closed, but they are trying to
reopen it. Like Hawai'i, a court battle was won
allegedly approving export, but getting it back going is
another beast. Australia is also very irregular, no Acros,
and a very limited selection every couple of months when they
do ship. Next Tahiti clams may be in August or September.
Kupang is dependable every two weeks and has been great
as usual. You can pick and choose from photos from there.

Here is a pic a cool customer sent us of a beautiful fish
from Irian Jaya. Most often called Blotched Anthias
(Pseudanthias bimaculatus), or Bimaculatus Anthias. What
a beautiful fish they are. Thanks to you know who you
are for the pic! A reminder to all, we LOVE your fish and
coral pics! You are invited to send us any photos you have
of items you received from us. Tell us if, or how, you want
your photo credit to read. THANKS!!!
Happy Fishin'!

Australia has some corals available from a
different shipper than what has been offered
before, with photos of some of their corals
in which you can select by code number. You
may get that piece, or a very similar 'clone'.
Currently, they are planning to try to ship
for arrival LAX on Wednesday, May 31st.
Photos of some of the available corals at this
time are shown on the page linked below.
See the list of corals available at the
Australia link below where a link for

There will soon be a shipment of FLORES corals,
which are expensive, but very fancy. Seems like
Euphys and Acros only so far, but check the pics
out (link below). The Euphys that say head are
by-the-head pricing, the ones that do not have
that word are colony pricing.
We are not sure when the next Bali Acro shipment
will be, we think not too far off in the future, but
no date set yet. Their Acros are still awesome.
See the pics ...
Tonga might be happening in a couple of weeks, we don't know.
They are out collecting again.
All the usual regular fish folk ship every week,
Wed. to LAX, Thurs. to you, such as all the Bali
and Philippines area sources. Fiji is Tues. to
LAX and Wed. to you. Kenya is becoming regular
again, or sorta for them, maybe monthly or less.
There were some King Angels for only $3k there.
The .pdf pages are regularly updated with current
stocks and prices. We can also email an excel
file with a dozen tabs each with another sources
list, just email and ask, or ask to get the
weekly e-mail with it.

Happy New Year all! We hope you had good holidays!
And that your recovery is going well!
Most of the fish shippers are back at work, business
as usual, after being closed for a couple to few weeks.
Some are still slow to get going though. Shipping was
a bit snarled around the holidays and recently, to say
the least, but things seem to be getting back to normal now.
There will be a Kupang shipment Jan. 25th to LAX, so
the 26th to you. We're hoping there will be more add-ons
in a couple of days, including Acropora, which are always
added late.
(Previous pages are no longer available, please see current Kupang list.)

We are still waiting to hear from Tonga and Vietnam.
The Tahiti tang man is also still not back at it, but the
clam lady there will be shipping large Blue Maxima boxes,
we think the 25th to LAX. Hoping to see tang man jump
on the shipping bandwagon as he sometimes does.
In fish, Fiji ships every Tuesday to LAX, save some
they miss, and they are back on schedule. From the
Bali area, all are shipping, such as -CV, Lombok,
and Irian Jaya. Philippines -V and Cebu, as well as RVS
are all shipping as well, so fish sources are mostly all
on-line.
No word yet from the Hawai'i people about them getting
things again. There appears to be much confusion, and
of course opposition at the ground level. Not sure
how it will go, but our people are not happening yet.
Sri Lanka goes whenever they get 25 boxes of orders
and freight space for it. So fairly willy nilly, it
happens without notice, you just have to have an order
in waiting, it is usually every month though.
Kenya still has a 300 kilo per shipment restriction
in place so it is not feasible.
That's all the news for now!
