That's the spirit! Glad you like them too! Following the advice of Gunnie and Butterfly, I located a local/nearby aquarium society. It turns out that Cincinnati has a huge one. They have their own website that has a forum similar to this one. I found an old post by a member selling Multi's for $3 a piece. I contacted him and said I wanted 6, and he gave me two extra for free. You can search online and buy them too, but they will cost a lot more. where do you live city/state, and I'll see if I can't locate something for you. If I ask my local guys, I'll bet they'll know a source near you too! Good Luck!

MULTIS ?? :

dahly

The smallest cichlid there is are called Multi's or "many banded" or Neolamprologus multifasciatus.

Here are mine!* http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1159.0

They are fascinating!

Thanx for sharing

Wilfie,
I would start by trying to find a local fish club or aquariam society.* I will envy you if you find one.* I am a member of 2 clubs, but the closest one I belong to is 5 hours away!* Here's a link to get you started:

http://www.fishlinkcentral.com/links...merica/Canada/

Also try by searching using Aquarium Club or Aquarium societies as the keywords on google or whatever search engine you use.* There are other sites out there that may have more clubs listed.
Once you have checked out the local clubs, I would join them, and get to know the other members.* So far, everyone I've met in my clubs are great folks and they are more than willing to share stuff they have or sell stuff to you at a much better price than buying from a store.* I will keep my eyes open for you, and give you leads to any I see for sale.* There is also a specialty site which folks post mainly about all the shelldwellers, not just the multies.* Their classified section might be a good place to look also:

http://www.shelldwellers.com* * *


P.S. If you were willing to take a road trip, the above site folks just rave about the quality of the fish, and the availability of shelldwellers at this site:

thanx for the help
I'll see if I can find anything

Joe, Indy is not far at all from Cincinnati, 90 miles, tops.* If you can't find a local hobbyest/dealer for multi's, there are many in the Greater Cincinnati area.* Check out www.gcas.org and you will see that there are plenty of multi owners, with babies all the time.* When mine eventually spawn, I'd be happy to share some with you.* If your mother ok's a new tank, and you're interested, just let me know and I can help round some up for you. $3 a piece, or less!* *

dahly

The GCAS.org is having a meeting Sunday. It seem there will be multi's available!

fish_r_friend

as i said only if i had another cycled tank

dahly

Bio Spira. I used it to immediately cycle my tank for my multis. I can get the 1oz freshwater (good for 30 gallons) for $10 and change. No 6 week wait and no stressed or dead fish!
