If anyone has some nice african peacocks and Plecos in the Md. Pa or Dc area I would be interested in buying as I am trying to stock a show tank and some breeder tanks. I am in the Harford county area. Thanks

I have haplochromis sp ruby green males and females. Males are colored up 4 bucks each.

Talk to Dave Glover. He lives in Abingdon. I was at his house yesterday. WOW he has some nice peacocks. He is a good guy also.

I have a spare adult male eureka red, breeding groups of ruby reds, a few Tramitochromis intermedius, and too many BN pleco's available. Most of the BN are regular browns, but I also have fire red juvies available.
I also have a large number of Australoheros oblongum (juvies) and Cryptoheros cutteri (breeding size) available, and a handful of L-10a red lizard whiptail juvies remaining.

Thanks what is TFW?
Tropical Fish World. They are located in Gaithersburg MD. They are a nice store and generally stock large male peacocks. Today is the last day of their Columbus Day sale, but all fish are 50% off. They are worth checking out in the future if you can't make it today.

The fire reds are a variant of the more common marble bristlenose. Just as effective at cleaning algae as the more common color variants, but they do seem to be slightly smaller than the browns. I got 8 unsexed juvies from Germany last year and ended up with 6m/2f. The juvies I have available now were bred and raised in hard, alkaline water (pH 7.4-7.6) because I use crushed coral to buffer my tanks. Raised on a staple diet of NLS Grow pellets, occaisonally spirulina flake, and canned green beans twice weekly.

Adult male; females look the same except for the bristles:

The ruby red peacocks came from a seller who listed them on cichlid-forum last spring. I got a dozen 1" fry and have grown them out. There are 2 males showing color now, one (the dominant male) more red than the other. As far as I can tell most of the rest are females, though there may be another male or two that haven't shown themselves yet. They're currently around 3"+ and spawning, but with so many of them sharing a 75 with 5 adult mbuna there aren't likely to be many (if any) fry growing out in the tank.
Here's an older (bad) pic of the male ruby red:
