Tanganyika Vendor

[AquaApprentice]

Who is a good vendor of Tanganyikan cichlids? I am very limited in my area when it comes to Tanganyikans as Mbuna are so popular (and for good reason, as Mbuna are amazing cichlids) and I have so far only been able to locate Julidichromes, Neolamp. Brichardi and Leleupi; in the past I have seen Cyphotilapia and Lamp. Calvus, but that is all the Tangs I can rememeber seeing in the past.

Anyone have good experiences with any Tanganyikan vendors in particular?

Also, what are some good shell-dwelling speices?

In my opinion, reservestockcichlids.com has the nicest looking best quality tanganyikans.
As far as shell dwellers, I think they're all great, but ocellatus is my favorite, so far. They have tons of personality.

Almost everything in my tang tank was from a local breeder, so I have never ordered any online.

I have heard a lot of good things from people that have ordered from Dave's Fish and the selection is great.

Yeah, obviously you can't make the trip up to his fishery to see just how great his selection is but I have and can vouch that all his fish are the best quality. I went and looked at pretty much every fish tank he had and didn't see one sick one. I would definitely look into using his services. Just a great experience and all the fish are doing very well. Not to mention, his prices are extremely fair.

I would also look at Tanganyika on www.aquabid.com or go to the www.cichlid-forum.com and check out the many sponsors they list. I'm sure you can find whatever you're looking for somewhere on those two sites.
