Do a search and see if you have a local Chiclid Association in your area. I go to swap meets and auctions when they have them. Last time I went I picked up a colony of front fry for $24.00 for 8 of them. That is unheard of. I filled my African tank (120gal) for about $50.00. Granted they were small, but that is part of the fun. Watching them grow and mature.
