Call in sick ;)

I've gotten a few emails and messages on different forums asking what cichlids will be sold there? MOST that you can think of! Thousands of fish are sold by breeders from temporary setups inside hotels rooms and literally thousands of cichlids , some plecos,catfish and aquarium plants are auctioned.

From Altums to zebra plecos if it's in the hobby and legal it'll most likely be there! (yes zebra plecos will be there and altums those I know for sure ;) )
