I would like to find some new stock, as all I have right now in one of my current running 2 tanks(65 tall and 20 long) is a 6inch "Big Lip" RD housed with a 4 inch (veiltail?) bullhead (male)convict of some sort(never seen one with long fins like this, but got it cheap) in the 65.
The 20long is the wife's, and she has just a small Firemouth and a pleco.
Anyway, I bought 2-55's and a 1-40B last week at the dollar-per-gallon sale to set up along with my current 65 and 20L(once we move in July). I will also have the following once our storage shipment arrives:
1-75gal
1-37gal bowfront (Wifes)
1-29gal
2- more 40B's (one will be a bare bottom saltwater reef again - only softies)- until I can get a deep blue RR 80 rimless (6mos to a year out depending on funds)
(Hope to also buy a new100long or 125 to make a saltwater FOWLR)
I was thinking tonight that I will finally have all the room I've ever wanted to create a "true" basement fish room, so I would like the following stock, likely to be single specimens in the appropriate sized tank.
a flowerhorn
a pure midas
a peacock bass
a red texas
a true carpintis (big pearl texas)
Maybe a trimac
My question is does anyone know where I can get these specimens, as the LFS here SUCKS!!! I've never ordered fish online, but would be open to it, but only from reputable vendors/people. I've been considering contacting "Skip" at Real Hard Cichlids and see if I can get a Midas and/or trimac or two from him, but haven't done so yet. Also, has anyone done buisiness with him? Whats the best way to get in touch with him?
Any other suggestions on vendors????
