I've tried to contact every pet store and aquarium shop in town and no one seems to carry the American Flagfish. Is this a rare find? Does anyone know where I can purchase one??

Thanks so much!

It probably depends on your area. For many years I've never seen Flagfish in person, then I started seeing them around. Your LFS probably can order these fish in relatively easily; ask them if they can order them in for you. If not, there are many places online.

I see them for sale all the time at aquabid.com If you don't mind shipping fish, check if they have a guarantee, you don't want your fish to show up DOA and be out your $$$.

The pet store that I work at gets them in quite regularly now. People really like them because they are a wacky looking fish. I dont think it should be too hard for your LFS to special order them for you.

Okay, a couple fish stores I called said they couldn't get the fish in...but one could! And it just happens to be my favorite LFS; don't know why I didn't go to them first! Thanks for your help guys. I never really knew you could request that an LFS order a particularly type of fish for you. This is great.
