Thanks for the offer but no thanks. I can get them here. The more rare ones like the calvus cichlids are in Calgary. The main point of the trip is Discus. Also a bigger tank. Maybe some new filters i wiped open a big also book lastnight and seen some pretty cool stuff.

Go to Riverfront. They have many South American cichlids.
Good variety of discuss as well.

Hey there DOO-E i have found that in Manitoba theyhave most of the larger Cichlids here. IMO that is why i switched to SW there were some Cichlids i coulsn't get so i lost interest in the hobby .

P.S Hope you find the ones you want

Hey Doo-e, back when I had my african tanks I used to requent the Petlands on Macleod Tr. & 90th Ave, as well as the Shaughnessy location.
Their fish manager (Kirsta) is crazy about cichlids

and they do have quite a selection for reasonable prices. Beware of the "mixed" cichlid clearance tanks though, thats where they keep the inbread mutants

If there is any specific type you want to get as them to place it on their next order and they will aquire them for you. Good Luck!

Danny i dont want to place an order because if i Order X amount of fish they will only order X amount of fish. I would like a broader selection. I have already talked to a few stores about it. Gold has them so i will go from their. But for south americans i would like to know. Some firends told me they will take me to riverfront. I guess our LFS used to do coral orders from their and had hardly and die off. They said that they bought some corals from there and none have died.
