Looking for Cichlids in metro DC area but who would yo recommend? really would like help finding pike cichlids. Please any and/or all stores you know of or if you know of some private guys who breed let me know.
 
Riverdale Pets in MD has a lot of predatory fish and that's where I got my pikes from. Some people dont like them b/c the store is dirty, but I've never had a problem w/ their fish. Annandale Super Petz also has had some pikes that I've gotten before.
 
house or tropicals one of if not the best stores left in this area. riverdale is filthy and has been shut down many times. fish are in terrible conditions and he rarely even feeds the fish. the tanks and the store are all in bad condition many people promote this store because they dont know anywhere else to get fish. a lot of his tanks dont have heaters he keeps and sells sick fish and has a no return policy once you buy it its yours so buyers beware of this store.
 
Riverdale Pets doesn't need heaters. They dont even seeem to have AC there so it's always like 80 something degrees inside. I can't even go in there w/o sweating. Aquarium Depot is another place in MD, but I have not been there in a long time. http://www.tropicalfishworld.com/ also.
 
ever heard of winter ive dealt with the owner almost 20 years bad attitude,poorly keep fish prices sometimes cheap sometimes sky high. been dealing with him since capital plaza mall and his store has been shut down a couple times before.
 
I'm just saying that I've never had problems w/ Riverdale besides their place being kinda dirty and the guy being a jerk. She is nice though. You should go by Annandale Super Pets though, last time I was there they had a few different types of pikes. Only ones I remember though were some gold spotted.
 
One of the premier breeders of pike cichlids in the country is right in your back yard in MD. Francine Bethea or MsCichlid on the forums. She's in Milwaukee this week for the ACA convention, but you can find her on the Capital Cichlid Assn website. http://capitalcichlids.org/ There are other pike keepers in the club as well, plus anything else you want, group buys, etc. Li (NeoProdigy) is a CCA member and maintains their website too.
