Fish Im looking for...

[newb]

Hello, Im in search for a few New World Cichlids to add to my tank. I have done some research and found that these would co-exist together well(at least thats what I read). So I am looking for: T-Bar Cichlid, Salvini, Rainbow Cichlid, Chocolate Cichlid. I would like for them to be in the 4-6" range. I know I could contact Jeff Rapps, but the shipping is expensive. Is there anybody locally that good get these or already has these, then let me know. thx

adult t-bars will be hard to find, i have only seen 2, and they were ulgy beat up trade ins.  your best bet on those would be fish ranch II and buy 5 or 6 juvies and let them pair up and raise them.
same with the rainbows, they will be easier than the t-bars to find though.
the chocolate shouldnt be to hard, fish ranch II gets in 4-5 inch chocos pretty often.
salvinis wonts be a very good mix with those fish, a 6"+ male salvini will be about like a 6" male jaguar cichlid, very territorial and extremly aggressive. rainbows really are pretty peaceful fish, they wont do well with the chocs or the salvini, your best bet would be to forget the salvini, they are way to much for you sevies , oscars and the fish you have mentioned.
the rainbows will do ok woith the others given enough hiding places and caves, also given atleast a 125g 6ft tank, the chocos will prob fight with you sevies, and your o's, they get HUGE, 14"+  and thick as dogs**t, they are mesyy eaters just like your o's, if these fish are kept in your 125g, you are gunna need atleast 2x $Eheim 2262's, and on your 75g, ateast 1x 2262.
and a wetdry on each wouldnt hurt.
these fish you are getting into are fraking dirty. even if they are full of personality and really cute right now they are still big, bulky messy new orld cichlids.
