African Cichlids list updated May 16 - more pictures added Mar.27

[fairdeal]

This list will be constantly edited and upgraded with new additions and advising on quantities available and I'll really attempt to keep it as current as humanly possible.
The vast majority of the fry are raised from wild caught, F1 or F2 stock and the line breds have been hand picked to ensure only the best quality breeders are selected.
All the smaller fry have been fed only Better Than Brine, Golden Pearls, Progrow, Cyclopeeze and decapsulated brine shrimp. All the larger fry and adults are fed various sizes of NLS pellets, NLS flake, homemade European shrimp mix, frozen or freeze dried krill and shrimp, shrimp pellets, earthworm flakes and pellets and a mixture of 5 different flakes from Kensfish.
For expediancy I'll use the following abbreviations for the list. W/C wild caught; F1 1st generation from wild caught; F2 2nd generation from wild caught; L/B line bred; T/R tank raised.
Pictures of some of these fish are available for viewing on a seperate thread under my subforum.

Yes the fish are still available and they are adults about 4". The head and tails are yellow with the black dorsals and pectorals.
They look exactly like the picture of the male in the "profile" section of cichlid-forum.com under cyprichromis sp. leptosoma jumbo "tricolor".

How much does shipping generally cost?

[fairdeal]

The quotes I get from West Jet are approximately $115 for 1 box, $126 for 2 boxes, $145 for 3 boxes so more than 1 box is the best cost wise. They charge a minimum which is all on the 1st box so every box after that is lower. I also have boxes that I can get 12-14 bags in rather than 8 or 9 so I really try to keep the shipping charges down for group orders. There are also no box charges or extras for things like heat packs, packing, handling, etc.

[malawi_eyebiter]

so we have to pay 115 to even get a trio
