My new 135 tank will arrive on 5/28/12. Also a 3D ledge background from Designs By Nature will be here by then. I have already recieved a new Marineland C-550 filter, and Caribsea Cichlid Complete. I also have several different kind of rocks, trying to do a natural tank. Now I need to start looking at fish. I would like to do a Peacock and Hap all male tank?? No LFS sells what I need.
Please give me some ideas on fish and where to get them???
Thanks in advance for your help
 
everything sounds good... need to get tank set up and cycled buy 5 or 6 zebra danios or whatever fish u decide to cycle...

www.davesfish.com/ ordered from them and they are great to deal with and good prices\

bluegrassaquatics.com is good buy only can buy unsexed juveniles

www.boesterscichlids.com/ is my favorite

juveniles would be much cheaper and you can cull females once they are sexed

mature haps/peacocks are gunna be pricey but well worth it 250.00 + to get a decent group

my favs are red empress,blue fryeris,sun shine peacocks,mutli colored and sulfurheads,Maleri Island etc
 
You should deffinatley look around on Craigslist for cichlids. I went to a local breeder and i got close to 200 dollars worth of fish for 90 bucks. They were all very colored up and about 4 inches. Also I went to a cichlid swap meet and picked up show males for 10 or 20 bucks. Sometimes you have to wait for swap meets but its worth it and local breeders usually have a better selection then lfs. Hope I helped. Put up some pics
