I have a 55 gallon with 4 f8 puffers and heavily filtered with 2 A.C. 70, with plants of cover and sorta looks like a mangrove swamp....... black gravel though :/

Anyways I put in 2 guppies (1 fry, 1 medium sized) without any acclamation to see how my puffers would handle them. They were very curious but no type of fin nipping (only towards eachother) even towards the guppy fry.

Anyways I would love to add more fish but they may be incompatible with the puffers or my tank setup.

I would like to add sailfin mollies, any other type of Molly, Dragon goby, bumble bee goby, American flag fish, more guppies, knight gobies, and hogchockers.

My question is where can I find them? My lfs sells guppies and mollies but nothing else. Even the sailfin mollies.....

Have you asked them if they could special order what you're looking for?

There's a guy on aquabid who deals with wild caught sailfin mollies and flagfish...plus some others on your list
 
Come on....did you even go to aquabid.com and look? If you go to 'us native fish' category, you'll see he's the only one selling sailfin mollies. Thatmajicguy is his handle on there. Want me to order them for you too? Lol
Id like that.

Out of all honesty thanks lol, never used aquabid in my life so erm...........

A lot of fish stores carry different fish at different times. I would go to your phone book look up pet stores that carry fish. Go to them all see what they got. I would also look up stores in surrounding cities. If there driving distance go check them out too. This is something I loved doing going to different fish stores..
 
Here in Ohio, there’s a lot of places that carry the dragon/violet gobies. I used to have two of them and can usually see them every time I go to certain fish stores.
 
I've seen the dragon gobies at Walmart, not sure I would buy them from there though. Imperial tropicals sells live bearers and ships free on orders over $45 which is probably about the cost of shipping from most vendors.
