Rehoboth always seems to have pretty neat stuff.

wetspot and jdaquatics are ok. Both indicate if fish is tank raised or wild. if Rehoboth is redfishbluefish they seem to charge 2x to 3x as everyone else and i can't figure out why.

Rehoboth aquatics is not Redfishbluefish, nothing against Jason, he seems like a nice enough guy.

Do you have a website for rehoboth? There was a facebook page but the email address is no longer valid.

The best place imo is a band (a social media app thing) group dedicated to apistogramma buy/sell/trade.
There are a number of good sellers there, and also small time breeders that will have occasional stock as well. For example, I ordered some a. hoignei from jdaquatics (mentioned above, they advertise there as well) through that app just this week.

The problem with band is the same as ebay and aquabid; it comes down to individual sellers. Some good some not so good. Just because there is an ad on band doesn't automagically make the seller good.

That is understandable for sure. That's why when I did buy apistos there, I did so from a seller that I had seen multiple reports of good healthy fish from, and was also suggested earlier here. JDaquatics. Id recommend him for sure based on my experience. He also typically has an impressively diverse apistogramma selection.

That's the only seller I can personally vouch for, but would absolutely buy again.
