That site is run by Pam Chin - you can find her in chat almost every night over at www.cichlid-forum.com - she's very well connected in the ACA (an infamous legend, actually), lives in Northern California, and could probably point you in the right direction, even though she's an african nut.

I've been banned from the site for whatever reason, but tell her Dirtyblacksocks sent you and she needs to lay off the pink castles if you do end up going that route to find her.

P.S. how are those orange heads doing? Coloring up better for you at the higher temps?

yup, they are all doing great. fitting right in with the others :)

i can start to see the largest one developing the red head and all the other colors are getting there.. they are beautiful bro. :)

some of them caught a bad case of ich last week so i put the tank at 87 and seems like all the ich is gone but after i do a big water change i may drop the temp back down to 82-84.
 
I've found they like it most at around 84-86 as I told you - which is pretty cool because most geo's crap out at those temps.

Would make a sweet discus setup if you had a 300 gallon tank to spare.

A harem of the tapajos at the bottom, maybe a 32" tall tank with a shoal of discus up top...

Anyway, remember the large water changes and power feeding high protein content food and you should get at least .5" in growth out of the males every month until they hit around 4" - they can also tolerate severe drops in water temperature during water changes (I would make mine go from 84 degrees to 78 degrees with 80% change).

Don't know why they're so prone to ich, keep em' over 84 and you won't have to deal with it though, they'll start to get HITH if you keep them under 80.

Hooray for giant derail bumps...and absolut vodka.
