andrew, you need to chill. they died because you put a bunch in there and now you're gonna get "a ton more" and they're gonna die as well. Bream/Sunfish can get nearly oscar sized and produce a lot of waste. as of now whether your 500 happens or not you only have a 55g tank and its already stocked well. there is no reason for you to keep these fish knowing they are going to die.
nearest pet store who supplies fish other than that i go onto ebay and look for fish that can be delivered.
There are maybe 4/5 LFS' in particular i get my fish from, since they get the specialty oddballs i'm into...

Whenever I order from a source that is going to ship fish in I will offer to do a group order for our relatively tight knit group of Portlanders on MFK. However between people flaking, not willing to sign up for paypal, and other issues, it can be... Interesting.

Agreed 
We have everyone make arrangements directly with the vendor for their fish...and have pick up at a club meeting (fish come in the night before, usually). One of our members lives really close to BWI (Baltimore Airport) so picking up air cargo fish is simple...
