Dwarf Cichlid Internet Sources

Apistogrammas and other dwarf cichlids are often offered for sale on the Internet. A number of different web sites offer dwarf cichlids for sale and they can also frequently be found on bulletin boards and auction sites.

Buying fish through the Internet or any other distance transaction always brings uncertainty. There are many factors that are open to interpretation that there can easily be misunderstandings. Sizing, sexing, shipping and identification are the most common areas of difficulty. I recommend that you have clear communications before the purchase is consummated.

Searching the Internet will provide you with a number of options for buying fish. Here are a few sites you can check. Often the stock that a site has listed differs from what they have on hand. I suggest that you send an Email to see if there are additional species available or others that are sold out.

If you know of a site you think should be added to our list please contact us.
