Red Sea suppliers

[delafe]

Hey Guys:

It had been a long time since I had ordered boxes of Red Sea fish. Well... Turns out that Saudia Arabia cut off all of the exporters and the company I used to order from is "out of business for now".

Does anyone have any good suppliers? I understand that most of the Red Sea stuff is coming out of Africa these days.

Thanks,

-Alfred

Perhaps the Petco- ization of the purple tang helped to ruined it.
When something drops so low in price as did these tangs, their percieved value can be lessened so as to reduce the incentive to do the business anymore.
They were in flyers for $39.99 to the public.
It was a shame to see such a great fish get so cheapened like that.

I will be in the Middle East in a week.
I will try to find one for you.

I suspect most of the Red Sea problems are your typical political/terrorism related problems that come and go. It's been a very troubled region, and sporadic with fish supply, for a number of years.
