There are...but the selection is weak like going to a party but all the food been served up. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Looks like you have to mail order your cichlids. There are a lot of good, reputable vendors here so check out their websites. I have a local guy that has a good selection (thank goodness I can just drive down and check him out) but I know he ships fish as well. He has a stock list that he also keeps current:

The owner is Jim. Great guy, knowledgeable...keeps cool fish. I've bought lots of fish from him, my best being a pair (starting off with 5 actually) of Wild Festae. Not africans but he keeps lots of those too and I can vouch for his stock.
