i want some of these

they aren't hard to find in my area, the lfs i worked for gets em in about every 3 months, a shipment of about 50, if they are hard to comeby where your at, just ask your lfs if they can order some. it shouldn't be hard for them to get them in or to sell them, at my old work we sold about 45 out of 50 in under 3 weeks!

i would personally go with these instead of the gymno meridianalis norte, cause those are mean little s***s i had a pair in my 50 g with a trio of balzanii's, 1x large male iporangensis, bout 5", and a 4" male red hump, and they terrorized everyone, even the ipo and red hump, even when i took the norte female out the male was meaner than h**l. dont believe anything you read about them, they are mean,i read all about them on cichlid-forum and several other sites saying ohh they are peaceful-mildly aggro, bull, they are mildy aggro- nuts:) i would never buy another, plus the male constanly beat ton the female. go with balzanii's, they are much cooler lookin, and much much less aggro.

they can get them in, but are usually $45-50 each.. way to much for my budget

dude get them off of aquabid.com, i have gotten some geos off there, some people on there are better than others. i got my old abalios and my old and my girraffe catfish from there, heck of alot cheaper than that, you could get like a group of 4or5 balzanii's, and pay for shipping for what your lfs is asking.

Brian, took your advice, watching aquabid and having Lee watch around him for them.
