Anybody ever done buissness with these guys. They offer assortment packs, I'm sure they are a mix of male and female, but some combine haps, mbunas and peacocks. A> Are these all compatible B>how manycan I add to a tank at once to avoid amonia spike. I have plenty of filtration and plan to overstock my 75G. They come a minimum of ten fish at a time. Thanx again particularly if you replied to my earlier thred...www.bluegrasscichlids.com

I would love to know about this site. I personally like to pick out each of my fish, but the prices here are WAYYY-Low. As long as shipping is resonable, looks like an awesome resource for cichlids.
I have a 95 gallon cichlid tank currently holding 11 cichlids (and growing) and a synodontis catfish. Once you get to larger tanks, you can keep about 1 cichlid for every 2 gallons, even though this is a rough estimate.
As for when to add, I usually like to add 4-5 max at the same time, but you can always scale to your tank size.
An easier, yet a bit harder on the fish, approach it using an ammonia reducing liquid, which can be bought at any good fish store. If you have 60+ gallons and not too many in there right now, don't worry, as long as I keep my fish healthy, they can easily tackle spikes in ammonia.
As far as mixing mbunas with haps and such, I find that this is easy as long as there are enough fish in the tank so the mbunas can't take huge territories. Territories = Fights.

The owner, Eddid Martin, is a personal friend and stand up guy. He was the one who organized the Honduras trip...and travels often to bring back his own stock. I would give him four stars.
I can't give any advice on keeping Africans. I will tell you that Eddie is a nut about making sure his stock is perfect. Go for it. Tell him that "MoJo highly reccomends the Honduran Cat killer". (inside joke)

Awesome techrescue911, there is a very good chance I will buy from him more than once, he has excellent prices.
Never bought ('cause I don't keep the breeds he sells, in general), but have heard only good things.
