Not sure where Hawaii stores source their fish from, but the most common goby shrimp combo's I've seen come my way are these:

We get them already paired up from the wholesalers, easy way to do it imo...

wow wish it was that easy over here..its always a hassle to specail order fish and never seems to work-out.what are the chances of your whole seller sending me a pair along with a pair of true purk or skunk clowns >? if theres anyway please let me know.,i know shipping will bite me but it might be worth it to get the fish i want

I don't do any shipping, and most of my wholesellers don't ship via ups or fedex, just good ole us air cargo (and usually a $200-300 min order).
I would suggest contacting one of our sponsors: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/index.php?page=sponsors
and seeing if they can ship to you if no local stores can special order em for you. I have no idea what logistics are involved in shipping fish into hawaii are, or what is allowed to be shipped there.

humm, i might be able to help you out. i have a wholesaler lic but no store, just for my personal use. i dont want to make any money so no worries there, but shipping and such might be pricey. i also might have to buy form LFS. the wholesaler i go to, there is only one that has any real selection on critters. the other are pretty much just fish, with some inverts and stuff but limited selection. there are some good LFS around me that will help me get certain iteams like you want. i can get them for ya and ship them to ya. the only thing is getting all you want at the same time. some are seasonal others come from regions that only alot a certain amount tonnage to be taken per year. i can look around and see what i can do. it must be a real pain to get certain things over there. can you make a list and let me know exactly what you want. next week i am going to the wholesaler and will look there first. but if not i will go the LFS to see what i can do. i only do this because i know how it is to want this or that and just can not get it.
