They're not very rare. Your store would probably be able to special order one in for you, depending on the season.

They are not what I would call rare. Scarce, perhaps, would be a better word.
Your average "mom and pop" petstore won't be selling them, but a serious aquatic retailer will get them in from time to time.
There are 17 registered keepers on PC.

They are not rare at all. I see them quite frequently in shops here in the northeast US.

I've seen them once in 2 years (and bought; Shark Aquarium, Hillside NJ). Western NY LFSs were my specialty. Been to LFSs in NJ, CT, NC, FL, Toronto, etc.
