Im looking for one one that is about 2-4in. are they common?

My LFS has some they are 3" or so for $25 each. Haven't seen them at any of my other LFS though. He does do internet sales below is link to him;

i have kept them they are fairly common in most pet stores, even the big chains petsmart etc. They are a good fish they get pretty big though they need at least a 75gal for one.
 
75gal? for a 20" fish? iono bout that one. if u ask me, they require huge tanks at full grown size. eventually they will need to be in a 180 or larger. i have 2 and there awesome fish. even walmart carrys them if u kno what ur lookin for cuz they lable them as african cichlids.
 
check walmart or petsmart or petco. they all carry them on a regular basis but sometimes get mislabled. usually you can snag a lil 1-2" butti for like 6 bux.
 
I have never seen them around Chicago in the LFS's or Petco's/Petsmart's. I got mine from a local distributor.
