Would anyone be kind enough to let me know how to get dolphins for my tank? It seems like it'd be a good way to make some money, but so far I can't find the information. Thanks in advance!

Gaia recently redid the Phin Phang shop. (It was announced in this announcement: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/community-announcements/phin-phang-refresh-coming-soon/t.60909693/)
I don't think they specifically announced it, but the dolphins were removed from Phin Phang with that update.

You can still find Dolphins in the marketplace (up for sale from people who bought them before they disappeared from Phin Phang.) They're very expensive and may or may not be worth buying now. I haven't done the math.

Edit; For your first tank, it might be better to start out with different fish anyway. You use the profit from your first tank to buy better fish for your second, and the profit from that to buy better for your third~ and so on. (Or at least that's one strategy I've heard of.)

This is an excellent guide that does a lot of the math for you and gives good advice: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-aquarium/the-potential-of-aquarium-fish-dolphins-have-been-axed/t.56607610/

Sometimes, in the Daily Chance lotto (the red box that says daily chance when you go to a page on Gaia) you might be able to get a fish for your aquarium.

Do you know if dolphins are in the daily chance list, or is Gaia phasing them out completely?

We'll at least see a big drop in dolphin tanks when the current ones die...

It's always possible that dolphins will be re-released in Phin Phang in the future.
Just as XDgal said, the Daily Chance does give out fishes. And I know that some RIGs have given out fishes in the past. And the Lucky Chest can give out fishes. I just really don't know whether any other sources give out dolphins right now. Hopefully someone does. ^^

I suspect Gaia is not going to use dolphins any more because they are so generous with the gold. But there are other fish that also drop gold and give you a chance to play Booty Grab and earn gold. Just not as much as quickly.
