    <a class="postlink" href="http://www.oddballonline.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.oddballonline.com/</a> I know they carry africans and ship..you'd probably have to e-mail them to find out what they have since they don't have them all listed online as of yet.

    can't remember if <a class="postlink" href="http://www.somethingsphishy.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.somethingsphishy.com/</a> carries them from time to time (under special order or rare exotics)

    yea, it would save you shipping and undue stress to the fish if you can find them locally...maybe talk to your brick & mortars and see if they can order what you want?

    Brick & Mortars---your local fish stores (not online).

    might wanna give the ones you e-mailed a couple days on the account of various places experiencing snow storms & some not being open due to them. :confused:

    always check there warranty/policy when it comes to dead fish...many places have one listed on there site somewhere...and if not, when they e-mail you back ask them.

    agghhhhhhhhhhhhh!! i talked to my guy last saturday. told him i want some adult female kenyi's, he said he really dont know how to sex the fish and we had the discussion that you cant really sex the juvinilles (that i know off) because he does have juvinilles.

    so what does he order, juvinilles.................................

    so ill have to wait another week and wait for him to talk to his dealer again.

    again, if anybody knows where to get some adult females from, let me know.

    I ran across these websites a few times and it seem really reliable.You can pick size or sex of the fish.Hopefully these website could help find what you need.I never ordered from here before,but hopefully it'll help you. The link is <a class="postlink" href="http://www.livefishdirect.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.livefishdirect.com/</a>. Good Luck
