vieja Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 hey all, i am going on a fish-shopping trip with some friends to kogarah tomorrow (love their huge range) and i was wondering if i could get some ideas on how to expand our trip. would love to hear suggestions on other LFSs (preferrably in the city or south thereof) worth checking out. we are mostly into large cichlids (mostly central american - not all) rather than africans.... thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZULU Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 [Have you ever been to the NSW Cichlid Club Meetings. There are a couple of people there who are keen American keepers ( Gus & Mr Cassetari ) The club also has auctions at the monthly meeting and a big (try at least 8 hours) auction twice a year. Held at Nuwarra Public School on the 1st Saturday of each month at 7.30 Regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cichlid Man Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 You could go to Lams Aquarium at Parramatta they have a big sale on at the moment and i think it is going until the end of the month. Heaps of cichlids and catfish at the moment. Regards, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vieja Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 thanks for all the replies.... i do appreciate the knowledge... What sort of South Americans are u after? Those that we know are available or those that only a handful of ppl here know are around and don't talk about much? tell me more, tell me more.... i currently have a community tank (6x2x14" - upgrading to 6x30"x24" shortly) with pair of jags, tiger oscar, red devil pair and one fiery-buM female salvini (all over 8"), but i am interested in anything large with patterns and temperament...

vieja Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 we ended up going to kogarah and then realising i'd left the street directory at home.... but your suggestions will not go unused..... i'm going back in the very near future to check out the other LFSs with good reputations (noticed TransAquarium and fish 4 U got a few mentions... sounds good) the day was not wasted though... i have been introduced to the Peppermint Bristlenose... what a BEAUTIFUL fish.... (i h8 to shout, but i got pretty excited)... my mission now is to find them for under $50 for a 1" specimen..... hmmm, i think i'll need to find a breeder.....
