haven't used any of these, but they seem to have decent lists. Don't know how rare you're looking for but these have a couple nice mbuna

I'd check under the sponsors on cichlid forum for a couple more. They have a couple sponsors with nice sites

What mbuna are you looking for?  Pm me a list.

[djlamonica]

I'm not looking for anything in particular really just want to see those lists and find something.  Ill probably get some marmalade cats, maybe some tropheops.

Cynotilapia sp. "Maleri" (Nakantenga), Labeotropheus fuelleborni     certain collection points, Labeotropheus trewavasae certain collection points,     Metriaclima estherae blue males red females only, Pseudotropheus interruptus

Well there is more but I think you get the point.

As far as the interruptus ... get a hold of Jeff,  his johanni are the same. (Or wait for jaws to spawn the ones I put  through the auction )
 Jeff believes there isn't a species called interruptus & calls his johanni. (Long story, ask & he'll explain )

Rare Malawi I keep......
1. Copadachromis    a Virginalis firecrest      b midnight Motlo   
2. Kawanga gold zebras  *
3. Williamsi north*

Semi rare ( at least locally)
1. orange top ndumbi*
2. Elongatus jewel spots*

Good luck! 

I know sometimes Michigan cichlid puts an order together for Old world exotics its a great place!

That doesn't sound right. Unless I missed it, Melanochromis interruptus  does exist and isn't just a particular locale of the species M. johanni. I've seen them confused though because they can look similar. The interruptus should have a nice consistent pattern that is "interrupted" forming a series of dots or better yet diamonds. Some due to poor breeding choices some can start to have markings that look more like a scribble without size consistency and markings running together, and then start to get confused with M. johanni.
