I am interested in buying a couple of used 40 gallon breeders or similar tanks and i will pick them up anywhere around KY, southern Ohio, or TN. I live in Lexington, and am trying to do a couple DIY projects with them. If anyone knows of a good deal, that would be great.

Can't help you directly, but you can check out www.gcas.org. Look under the forums, trading post. There are a couple of people who often have tanks for sale.

I love going to Lex to check out the fish stores. Not much to offer where I am. I always check out Animal House on Richmond road when we are up there because everynow and then I can catch them when they have some Tanganyikian cichlids in. That's where I bought my calvus. :)

Yeah that store is neat, they usually have a pretty good selection but other than that one and one or two more, its hard to find any good cichlids. Thanks for your help, that site seems real helpful. Where abouts in KY are you from Orion

I know the incredapet across the street has a pretty good selection of fish, but most cichlids seem to be new worlds. Animal house is really the only one that I know of that carries Tanganyikan cichlids, do you know of any others? I know there is a store that we've not been to that I've always wanted to go but I can't remember the name of it. I want to say it's on, or around Alumini Drive somewhere around the campus.

I am about 1-1.5 hours south on 75 depending on how fast you drive in London. Piddly little place for fish, unless you want to go to the lake to catch them. :)

Yeah I know where London is, my girlfriend is from Williamsburg, and I have family near the Cumberland Gap area, so I go through Corbin all the time. Yeah that fish store close to campus has a great selection but is really pricy. If you are ever up in Lexington and want to visit I can give you directions to it. The guys there are really nice, but hey thanks for your help, and if you see any deals on a couple of 40 or 50 gal breeders, let me know
