garreTT Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi Garrett: I will likely be placing an African order sometime in Sept. I'm working on getting price lists from a few suppliers that ship direct from the lakes rather than go through US wholesalers and should have the tank space by then if everything goes as planned. Harold That would be great! Sounds about right for timing as well as the tank still has to cycle. Let me know and if you could maybe get some of these guys in, that would save me a lot of trouble. -Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Ooooh Im also interested in this, please let me know when you get more info in regards to an african order Hi Garrett and Vince: The 1st company I got a stock list from is some 10 pages long and contains fish from both lakes as I recall. It is a little different than dealing with S. Americans and will involve a much more in depth due diligence process. I hope to get a few more stock lists but that may just be wishful thinking as the vast majority of these lakeside exporters only deal direct with larger wholesalers. I'll keep you posted.

I tried unsuccessfully to get 3 boxes of Africans from a US supplier 3 weeks ago only to find he lost his shipping priviledges with Delta and wasn't willing to find another carrier unless I increased my order to "make it worth his while". That is just 1 reason I'm looking to deal direct with the lakeside suppliers in Africa and eliminate the US wholesalers completely. I'll likely be placing my 1st order in late Sept. if I have sufficient tank space by then as I have to order a minimum of 10 boxes. If that goes well I should be able to order African cichlids at least a couple of times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairdeal Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 may I inquire please how much do you sell tropheus if ever you are going to have some soon? thanks Tropheus may be on the African order if I can get enough interest - don't have the tank space to hold them for long. Pricing will not be available until I see what is on the list and get a shipping cost but will let you know when I find out. What particular type(s) were you interested in and what size(s)?

RebelThunder Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) I see. It would be nice to know what your suppliers can get so I can just choose from the list.or maybe know the prices also. I am looking for juvies to grow them out myself. thanks Harold!
