My assumption is that most all wholesalers will sell a minimum number of fish to make it commercially feasible, in the case of Saltwater fish, that might likely be a single fish... for most Freshwater fish, it's maybe closer to 50 pr more.
The most important is the minimum order amount in $, the minimum number of fish generally depends on the price of the fish. Yes cheap $.25 cent fish like neons have to be bought in larger quantities but in general they're fine shipping half a dozen of $1 fish certainly for regular customers, as long as the total amount is met.

I doubting "most" big box stores will order for you. They usually have a "list" they can order from.

Have you checked out AquaBid or Wetspot Aquatics? I'm not sure, but paying for shipping to your house might be another option than rather a long drive...just a thought...or maybe Drs. Fosters & Smith? I've never tried them...

How did I miss the Petco buy of Drs F & S 3 years ago?!? Still, if they have what you want it may be worth it. I did not see you strain of rainbows you want...Look elsewhere!
