Really bad day - at the end of the bad day I find a first dead


So don't ask why but my two wild caught males - nanochromis sabinae (dwarf cichlids) died. Now I have two females and one is way more colored purplish looks like breeding coloration while the other isn't as purple or whatever, their in a 10 gal heavily planted, 10 amano shrimp, 4 galaxy rasboras as like the school of fish that takes the battling cichlids off each other or whatever i just wanted a schooling fish to look nice because dwarfs never moved around just low and weren't like super fun to watch or anything.

anyways where should i look to find a male? I checked aquabid.com and just searched on their main page for nanochromis and nanochromis sabinae... no results really.

I might just put the two females in my 72 gal or whatever just really pissed and then get more galaxy's for my 10 gal but i really wanted to breed a rare fish and i liked the fish kinda i mean they didn't look like super super cool but they were pretty cool and wild caught from the congo or whatever pretty cool i think at least... just sucks... i went through so much with these two pairs, you people would be like damn if you knew the whole story with the two pairs.

anyways basically just looking for some input on where to find a male, if i should just give up because a male would be way to hard to find, ummm should i just put galaxy's in the 10 gal or more of them i mean? maybe a nice school of them... damn even their hiding right now behind the two riccia covered rocks in the back right now!!! fish tanks... bring me down.

I'm sorry to hear about that. I saved a site that might offer what you're looking for. Oddballfish.com Hope things get better.
