I'm still on the hunt for this specific Cichlid species. I've checked out the usual places - eBay, Zorchzon, LiveAquaria, PetSolutions, Petco, and PetSmart, but no luck so far.

Aquabid did have some, but the seller doesn't offer a live arrival guarantee, which is a deal-breaker for me. I'm in the US, so I'm hoping someone might know of a reputable breeder or seller who has these in stock. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Does someone know?

Re: Does someone know?
Considering your options, I'd say finding a breeder is probably your best shot or taking a chance with Aquabid. Live fish transport can be unpredictable, and unfortunately, no one can truly guarantee they'll arrive alive - things can go wrong.

Re: Does someone know?
To find a breeder, I'd suggest searching online for local aquarium clubs or groups in your area. They might have members who breed the specific type of Cichlid you're looking for. You could also try reaching out to aquarium enthusiasts on forums or social media groups, they might be able to point you in the right direction. Another option is to check with local pet stores that specialize in aquariums, they might know of some breeders or have connections with them.

Just found a breeder - California Cichlids. They have the exact type I've been looking for. Checked their site and they seem legit, http/www.CaliforniaCichlids.com.

You could also try Dave's Rare Fish, he has them available from multiple collection points on his site.

Just out of curiosity, what's your Cichlid collection like? I've got a thing for Cichlids.

I've got 2 pairs of Kribs for now, that's my current setup. Working on a new tank to bring in the Pundamilia nyererei, Mwanza Gulf I've been eyeing.
