I've seen golds, and malawi mayhem, but both don't have the fish I want.  Are there any other breeders that ship to Ottawa?  I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for shipping.  Specifically I'm looking for cyprichromis and multifasciatus...I've searched and searched and searched...

20 Gallon Long Reef: 1 Gramma melacara, 1 Pseudocheilinus hexataenia, 2 Lysmata amboinensis, 2 Lysmata wurdemanni, snails, hermits, crabs, mushrooms, SPS, rare zoanthids, palythoas, ricordea, favites, cloves, acans, candycanes leathers

Have you tried Quebec Cichlides?  They have Multifaciatus I believe.

Adam

Thanks a lot for the site.

They have some cyprichromis, but no multis...

Does anyone know of any other places?  I'd like to have some options in where I purchase them from.

I also know of a couple of places in NB; but they don't generally ship anywhere west of Quebec.

Spencer Jack obviously ships here, but I don't think he has what you're looking for.

Have you tried asking Big Als for those?  Not that that will likely get you anywhere...I have yet to see Big Als order me anything I've asked for.

Tell me about it.  "We'll have those in stock in a few weeks"...or try ordering furniture: "I'll give you a call tomorrow"...still waiting, it's been about 3 months.

Big Als bugs me, because I've asked for things, they've taken my name, species name, and told me it'll be in in a week....that was 8 months ago lol

Woody

Would you be so kind as to let us know these places.

Can't seem to find the others I knew about; I'll keep looking :)

I saw yesterday that BA Innes has some N. mutlifasciatus. All you need is two or three to start and in a couple of months, you'll have dozens... ;D.

TRY www.crlca.com - they usually have a pretty good selection. You can look at their selection from their website and they ship - good quality fish - wild caught and G1.

Adam

Al, do you need a membership to look at their stock?  I tried the website, but I was halted by some member areas only. 

So far, pretty good.  I'm thinking of doing a group order later on from some of these places, I'm sure there will be interest.

Just look at their in-stock fish list - I don't think you need to be a member unless you want to order special stock from the lakes. You can reach Tom at 519-822-6130.  As an option to shipping, a drive to Guelph and back to Ottawa can easily be done in a day for those of you preferring to see what you're getting. They usually have a pretty good selection although the last little while has seen less stock - less coming in from Tanganyika.
Good luck.
