Seeking mixed mbuna to start a 55 gallon tank. Searching for breeders in the Knoxville TN area

[Eric Babin]

Greetings. I am new to the forum. I am desperately seeking mixed species of mbuna to start my 55 gallon tank. I have found nothing of decent quality at local fish stores. My tank is set and ready to stock. Can anyone direct me to where I can find mbuna in Knoxville Tn?

You may want to see if there is a local aquarium club in your area
or order from one of the online vendors, and have fish shipped to your door if you have specific cichlids on your mind.
I have had good luck with
Dave's Rare Fish
or Wet Spot Fish.
Both these have long lists of African rift lake cichlids
Where I live most LFSs have tons of mbuna, but because I prefer rarer Central American and Madagascar species, I almost always end up having those fish shipped.
