That suck! My LFS has plenty of these African Cichlids. They are beautiful too.

ive seen one at the lfs and it was 3 years ago and it was really really really overpriced.
How much it cost? I saw one at the Petco here, it was about $15 for 3".

WHAT? the one i saw cost $60 and it was like 2 inches.
OMG! That's crazy. $60? Godness. I think I can get a juvenile Aussie Arowana with that price.

Wow...I might drive over to Terre Haute for some of those fish...but, to make it worth my while, would you throw in an "Aaron's Greatest Hits" photo album? J/K...wish I had a place for some Peacocks now...

Aaron, if you ever do make that photo album, though, let all of us AC Cichlidiots know!

if you ever want some Aulonocara, let me know. I have some F1 Blue Neon Undu Reef, Lemon Jakes, and Kandeensis available. I should also have some F1 Lethrinops Marginatus, and F1 Lethrinops Nyassae available within a few months too.
