Hi, can anybody list location of Aquariums within NYC that sells cichla orinocensis?
I want one ASAP but i couldn't find one in any aquariums in NYC that i known of. I don't want to risk on buying from other states during the winter season b/c 3 peacock bass were dead of arrival.
 
I would say Rapps is your best bet, he'll put the heat packs in, just make sure someone grabs them upon delivery if your not going to be home. Have him add a few extra heat packs
 
Jeff Rapps of Tangledupincichlids.com has orinos and he's located in New Jersey. That's pretty darn close! You could try Shark Aquarium too but the last cichla I heard they had in stock were azuls.

I've been to shark aquarium in person, pick up in person is safer and money-saving, but are rio-meta have more green than sharkaquarium's orino?
Does Jeff Rapp reship if all DOA? and do you guys know how much shipping it will be(approximately)? email takes long to reply.
 
I believe Jeff does do gauranteed live arrival but you'd have to check out his website for more details www.tangledupincichlids.com Shipping to me in VA is $35 so I can't imagine it being much more than $20 for you in NY. Shoot him an email and he'll respond to you as soon as he can. He's very good at responding to emails, but he's a busy guy so give him some time.
 
^ Hey bro, I've bought from Jeff a couple times before and I'm from queens too. Delivery is always on time with UPS and last time I bought from Jeff it was only $20 not including heat packs and PP fees so its still pretty cheap.
 
ok good, anybody from NY want any orinos? i am best with 2 or 3, need add up to 6.
 
Lucky people with cheap shipping. It would cost me $90 to get a fish shipped to me.
 
its $40 shipping fee from NJ to NY + $7 styro & heat packs.
