I traded my breeding pair to House_64 and they have fry right now. I think he's using them as feeders but also kept a few. Send him a PM. What size are you looking for?
hmm just found i can get a 6" Astatheros Robertsoni for 50, and then a 5.5" Chanco for like 28 from jeffs, so that meets the minimum fish order and the perfect number of fish i can fit in my Pond. So do you think i should try that it would be pretty cool with those both large sweet fish

check out the ones I bolded for you. How about $5 for a chancho? Thats what about a tenth of the price Jeff is asking? Ken Davis has quality fish too. I'd get some if I had the space but I'm still trying to get my saggitaes breeding.
thanks you so so so much, everyone from cichlid-forum told me jeff rapps is the best and one of the cheapest, and then don is second but is crazy expensive

Thats because hes been around for so long and is so trusted in the hobby. But he's only one guy, believe it or not you're paying for the name. People order from him because he has so much to chose from too, not a lot of people want to pay $50 for shipping on one fish but they don't mind if they're buying 10 different kinds they can't find locally. I personally would rather find my fish locally or special order from my LFS than waste my money on shipping. Don't get me wrong, he has nice fish but.. So do the little guys.
