Does anyone know of a good place to get Similis near Peoria?

[DocRay]

I have my tank set up and I will be moving to school in about a week and a half.  Here I will resetup the tank and then want to add fish once I am convinced it has cycled.  Does anyone know a place that sells good Africans in the Peoria, Illinois area?
Thanks!

Are you doing a fishless cycle or cycling with dainos or something.

I have no idea where Peoria is nor do I feel like logging onto Mapquest right now, but if you can make it to Chicago, there's a pet store you could try.

King Coral Aquatics. Google them for their website, and then email them and ask for similis. They had a TON of shellies last time I went, about a year ago, and I hope to go this coming up week again.

Using established media from one of my other tanks.  

[Mr. Ocellatus]

That's even better.

You're looking at a two hour forty five minute drive to what may be the best Tanganikia selection in your state. Stop by at the Shedd Aquarium or a Museum and you have yourself a nice little day trip.

What about Bloomington/Normal, IL?
