African Cichlids come mainly from three lakes: Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Victoria. CAS is your #1 source for high-quality African Cichlid fish at low prices.
CAS is the best place to buy your African Cichlids and get free advice. We carry primarily community tank African Cichlids that can be mixed together to produce an extremely colorful tank. Please visit our compatibility chart for more information about mixing these type fish in a community tank.
GOAL: To carry, maintain, and sell one of the largest variety of high-quality African Cichlid Community Tank fish stock available in the Mid-Atlantic Region at low affordable prices.
MISSION: To provide quality African Cichlid Fish, and a few other types of Aquarium fish to the hobbyist at a fair price and with excellent customer service.
Fish Sizes: To see all the sizes of each fish currently available; once you open an individual fish, click on its name and the drop down will show all the sizes and prices for that fish.
Shipping: Please note: Fed Ex Next Day Air in areas where Fed EX Ground or Home Delivery (One Business Day) cost about 3X as ground and is normally not worth the cost difference. When second day shipping is available, this difference in price can be even more. Currently, Second Day shipping is avialable while the weather gets above 45F overnight.
Double Packing: Double packing may be avialbe to save some shipping cost. Currnetly most ground packages cost around $22 per box. Fish are packed either one male, two females, or three sex uncertain per bag. Three bags are packed per box. Depending on what fish you order, I may be able to pack some of them together to save shipping by reducing the number of boxes needed to ship. However, this only applies to One Day Shipments and there is no live arrival guarantee on fish that are double packed. For double packing, please send me an email list of the fish you want, request double packing to save on boxes used and I will send you a manual pay pal invoice instead of a cart generated one.
Customer Service: The best way to contact me is by email at cichlidsarespecial@comcast.net. I often am tied up with maintance or other customers and can not get to the phone.
Internet Store: CAS is an internet based store. We can not sell from our physicall address due to township rules. Local pick ups are avaiable at Metro Bank on south queen street in York, PA by appointment. On a local pick up, you have the option of paying cash at the time of pick up and refusing any fish you are not happy with at that time. In some cases, I may be able to photo a fish and send you an email attchment of that fish prior to purchase if you have concerns about a local pick up.
