I think I live in the worst city for fish anywhere. I have 3 lfs, only 1 of which carries any cichlid selection. I've had problems even trying to find someone to order the fish that I would like. The area is full of Petsmart, Petco, Walmart and Pet Supplies Plus, but very little selection for monster fish. Just gets aggravating to try to find something besides oscars, jack dempseys, common types of cichlid. On the other hand, if you like saltwater there are several lfs that specialize in saltwater fish. Most of the better lfs have gone belly up, couldn't compete with chain stores. I can order from other internet sources, I guess, but the cost of shipping kind of kills that idea. The local fish club here has no activities at all, either. No trades or auctions of what other members raise. I know that there are fishkeepers here, I got my big jag/dovii from a local store, who got it as a tradein from someone else local. How could I get in touch with other fishkeepers in my area? I've tried to locate other MFK people from tn, but not had much luck. Who is good for ordering from? Preferably with a reasonable shipping cost and a good recommendation from members here? If I have to, I will just have to start ordering from internet, or maybe I just need to move to a different city... I do like it here, just not good for fish.
