Thank you! ;D I live on the West side off of I-10. Cool that this is a local site can you recommend any good fish stores in the area to buy other cichlids from besides Walmart, Petsmart, and Petco? I am trying to find my yellow labs some tank-mates any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cool I know where that is as far as fish stores here in Jack-n-kill I would try Ocean Reefs they have a wide selection of cichlids and know what they are talking about tell them CP sent you and he might hook you up with a few extra free cichlids I know the owner very well they are located off of Atlantic Blvd. right after you cross the intercostal bridge about two miles down from there its in a huge shopping center they have a big store hope you find what you are looking for.

Welcome Sam glad to have you here! I would sell you some tank-mates but I just unloaded most of my Africans to a breeder down south near Melbourne. Three weeks sooner and I would have given you some just for riding out here. Ocean Reefs has dropped a lot of they're cichlids and are mainly carrying saltwater fish now your best bet is to find a local hobbyist who breeds them at home. JB

Hi Sam I'm a little farther away so I can't tell you where to find fish down there. I will be able to once I get down there. Maybe we will meet one another. It's a great site. good people that work hard on this site. Let us know what you need help with and someone will be able to answer any question you have. If we can't find an answer we will get one for you.
Welcome to CP Jeff

Welcome Frank! Great to have another local around we've been trying to gather our locals for quite sometime to form a fish club where we can get together once a month or every three months just to trade, talk and shoot the ---- about cichlids with other hobbyists. Great to have you aboard and if you have any questions feel free to ask me or any of the other staff. We look forward to what you have to share with and hope you make us your new home for resources for your cichlids and any other fish you might have take care and have a great week.

Frank Hey not a problem we helped each other out. My MTS was just getting a bit out of hand too many tanks and no room. Oh and Welcome aboard glad to have the locals I believe we have 8 or 9 now not sure but as the number goes up we should really consider forming a cichlid club together we can stock our tanks with all kinds of cichlids that we raise and just hangout and have some fun. You have my number so give me a call sometime we can go crash Mike's crib and you can meet him as well ;D JB
