There's a huge list of mail-order cichlid stores, along with ratings/reviews here:

I don't usually post here as I don't keep malawi's myself. However, there is a place near me in Richmond, IN that has some awesome fish at great prices. http://www.worldofcichlids.com

go to cichlid-forum.com and go to reviews and there is a bunch of mail order fish sites

If you're anywhere near Missouri, there's a great specialty cichlid store in Springfield. I don't know if he ships by mail, though.

If I could get a picture to show up I'd post one of the F1 Pseudotropheus Saulosi juvies I have. They are gorgeous. They're so bright orange-yellow it's crazy. 3 are already starting to get blue on the dorsal and their bottom fins so I have at least 3 males. I got them from Armke's Rare Fish (you'll see add on cichlid-forum.com). I've gotten lucky too w/ getting in contact with a couple really good breeders from my various sites I frequent.

Armke's sounds like a good place to get some from. Also www.cichlidsrus.com is another place I know a few people that have had good experience w/.

Chapman: I've been looking for Saulosi's forever now. . . I finally found an outfit in Atlanta, Georgia, that was selling some on AquaBid. I just got some really beaustiful Saulosi. One male, and three female. Two of the females are a strong, deep orange, and one of them has some of the vertical striping. The male is awesome too. I can see him change colors and contrast, he looks different before I go to work, and after I get home from work. I really like my new saulosi.
