Ive been looking all over the Denver area for butterfly loaches, and haven't been able to find them. If you see any around, please let me know. I'm also looking for Amphilophus lyonsi, Amphilophus Chancho, and Parachromis Loisellei, although if I can't find those three I will most likely order them from Conkels/Rapps. Thank you for any help you can give me.
 
Critters cove (aka Hart's corner) has butterfly loaches in their small display tank on their counter. It's a small planted tank with some red tetras in it. I bet they'd sell those to you. Also, Neptune's tends to have them as well. Call them first though.

Thanks for the tips, I'll check both places today.

That's odd. And you checked both places? I was pretty sure Critter's cove had those butterfly loaches.

I managed to find one butterfly loach last night at Fish Palace. It was their last one, but I talked to the owner and he said they would probably be getting more in a few weeks.(I like to support them when I can, since they're about the closest lfs to my house, and they almost always have what I want or need)

So I guess I'm just looking for A. Chancho, A. Lyonsi, and P. Loisellei. Thank you for your help!
 
Denver Tropical Fish warehouse has tons of those butterfly loaches. They have spotted types and reticulated. They were like 14 dollars each.

What other cool fish do they have right now?

I didn't see anything really new outside of those loaches. I mean nothing you wouldn't find at any other lfs. I definitely didn't see any new killer fish. They had a couple of large buttofokerri (don't know how it is spelled) and some nice large gold severums.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check it out.
