have you checked out aquabid.com? or any other on-line fish supply? I often see something being auctioned, and e-mail the seller. there are alot based out of Cali. You might be able to hook up like that.
Check out www.tangledupincichlids.com , Jeff Rapp has a large selection of eartheaters and can ship them out to you. Most of the ones he has are some of the harder ones to find. He just recently got in a shipment of some rare G. Proximus. Hope this helps you out
