That sounds cool, sadly I don't have a tank up and running at the moment, and I live in MN, I don't know exactly where your at in the us. If you'd like I'll PM you my email address so we can keep in contact I'll probably be ready for fish in June or July.

Hi, we are in FL and ship fish every week...we carry a large variety of SA fish besides apistos :)

Your timeline unfortunately does not coincide well with wild collecting season...when you're tank is ready in June that will be during rainy season and few fish are caught in the Amazon region at that time. Dry season starts in August and we will have to see what is available at that time. Keep my email handy and send an inquiry when you are ready.

Thanks will keep you in my thoughts. From the tap My PH is 7.0 my KH is 6.0 my GH is 5.5. I'm planing on stocking a 20 gallon tank with 3 Apistogramma dwarf cichlids, one male two females. I was recommended, A. Cacatuides. Do you carry sunburst, triple red or any other aquarium strains or do you just do wild?

I normally just import wilds directly from Brazil, Colombia, or Peru.
Thanks, , but my water from the tap just isn't suitable to keep these fish then, I was told Captive bred A cacatuides. Such as sunburst or triple red. I do know of a shop in my area that sells RO water but its far and unrealistic to use as a primary sourse.

Do you still have Agassizis? How much is shipping to North Carolina? That's a great list you have.

I still have the agassizis, and they are one of the few I have extra females. I can sell trios, quads 1M/3F or just females right now. Fedex priority overnight is around $65 and I can fit up to 8 fish in the same box. I don't like USPS express as much but its cheaper at $42.
