Cichlid dealers in Orlando, FL?

Greetings all,

Very frustrated, the subject says it all. It seems that the stores
that *used* to offer a range of cichlids is moving to salt primarily.
I guess the profit isn't there for cichlids. At best the stores seem
to have a tank or two of the same old mbuna.

Specifically I'm looking for non-mbuna, reasonably-non-agressive
Tanganyikans or Malawians (peacocks, maybe haps) for my 75 gal tank.
I'd preferably like juveniles and not some huge, very expensive
adults. Not too mention I have a few sub-adult Julie (ornatus)
currently in the tank.

If anyone knows a LFS or just someone within the central florida area
with some "extra" fry they'd like to sell, let me know. Curses
that I got hooked on these fish (especially Tanganyikans, they're
really tough to find).

Thanks,
Rick



IMO, the only way to obtain Rift Lake cichlids that aren't of the normal
Mbuna mold is to order online. Check out www.hotcichlids.com and talk to
Elwood. He's usually got a pretty good selection. I've found online prices
to be about a third of the LFS prices on most things.
