I have a 75 gallon and 29 gallon uniquarium...my maintenance guy is looking for a reputable wholesale company to purchase fish for clients...and maybe a retail vendor. My guy has all the necessary paperwork for importing fish to hawaii...many of the wholesalers out of California ship crappy almost dead fish...we understand that there is some mortality involved but not to the level of 50% plus per order.
Thanks for your suggestions!
This is how we feel... :headwallblue:

+1^ also there are plenty of wholesalers in Sri Lanka and Taiwan area... Also Australian whole salers and QM will ship to you from S Cali. Also being in Hawaii Red Sea distributors if you can get good contacts. Bali Aquarich that Wen Pin owns is another option

I was just in Hawaii, Maui to be exact. I was surprised how much the local saltwater fish sold for.
Potters angel 70
Yellow tang 40
Naso tang 55,
There were others as well, but those are nearly the same as NJ prices, some places sell those fish for more and others for less. I would have guessed with no shipping fees the prices would have been better.

A Navarchus isnt going to be a good choice no matter how big with a queen angel. Navarchus angels are very mellow and wont fair well with aggressive tankmates like a queen

Not to mention a 75 g tank. Too small for a powder blue or a purple tang.

I'm confused about this whole statement- are these replacement fish dead? are you looking to get a fish that'll stop your queen from bullying other fish in your tank? Imagine living in your bathroom & that's probably how ur queen feels right now. I think anything you add will be killed by your queen in time.

You and your maintenance guy both sound like you have no idea what you are doing.
