Issues with Blue tangs lately

I had a blue tang for nearly 10 years. When I moved a year ago and slacked a bit on the tank I lost her and a few other fish plus coral. I have got the tank back in order over this year and really wanted to get a blue tang back in there. first off I found that because of the indo ban they are apparently not coming in as much now according to my LFS's and the price has jumped on them. I have purchased 3 in about a 8 or so month timeline now from 2 different stores and each time they didn't last more than a few days??? I have been doing this over 12 years, I know to acclimate and I check all my parameters. I have introduced other fish in this time frame as well that are fine. Is it time to give up on the blue tang, are they weaker now coming in or anything or just my luck? I will say the ones I got where on the smaller side and had only been at store a few days. They are only getting small ones in and if you don't get them within a couple days they are gone
