Great guy, one of the few people around my area that actually likes big cichlids too.

Shipping on this site reasonable? Also I wonder how well they would be able to ship a fish to Arizona consitering how hot it is here. Id also need a smaller jag, probably 2-4 inches, if I put one that size in my tank my devil and shark will kill it for sure. Smaller fish they ignore so I need something small that they will become accustomed to as it grows.
Seller usually use Delta Dash(fishes will get there same day) for bigger fishes but he might be willing to ship them through Fedex(overnight). Not sure if overnight shipping has gone up with gas prices but it used to be anywhere from $40-75.
That's one thing that sucks about ordering online, unless you want to risk having the fishes on the road for two to three day for a lower shipping rate.

I wish, Ive never ever seen jags at my local petsmart, any of them. Ive gotten a few REALLY nice red devils from petsmart, but the only large fish the local petsmart's carry here are devils, pacu's (TOO BIG!), tinfoil barbs (too skiddish), and oscars (cant hold its own against to a devil). If I ever saw a jag there Id snag it right away! And that would work out really well too, like I said before it would almost have to be a baby as my devil and shark tend to home in and kill anything of any signifigant size I put in there. A few months ago I tried to introduce a 10-11 inch texas cichlid which was killed in pretty short order by the other 2 large fish. Moreso the shark but the devil got a few hits too.
Most of the PetSmarts here in Tucson have jags. I would recommend Ken Davis (FishfarmUSA on AquaBid and WW) for nice fish and great shipping prices. His fish are usually growout size and easy/cheap to ship. Unfortunately he's not selling any managuense right now.
