Hi Guys,

I'm looking for advice on getting a few really nice Red Devils like the ones Jeff Rapps sells...

Are there any decent place in the UK that stock quality cichlids like these or will I have to order from abroad??? What are my options guys?
 
can he export these alive to the UK?
 
I hope so... What can I expect to pay for a Wild caught Labiatus?
 
Yeah I'd expect the airfair to be pretty high lol... But how can they survive the transit and how long would it take to get them? These questions aren't aimed directly at you, by the way... but please feel free to answer them if you can ;)
 
Thats the problem with living in the UK. Since I moved here everythings half the price and things that were very rare are common. as time goes on more and more quality exporters will deal with the UK but my brother told me that where he worked in England import all their stock from Thailand and Qatar, as most places in the UK do. they don't tend to breed many cichlids on these farms unless they are commercial (rams, appistos, parrots and FH) most of the central american cichlids are bred in north america, especially the rarer ones.

I did hear of a place in london called "wild woods" or something like this. its in Enfield and its one of the best places in the UK. they have some of the rarer stuff and if you want specifics they could order for you, I spoke to the guy by email a few years ago about archerfish.

good luck with your search! if all else fails just import from someone like rapps
