Tropical Fish from West Africa

[tyrancooper]

In addition to my discus tank, I have a couple of smaller tanks dedicated to West African fish. I've have been looking for months for smaller tetras from West Africa, such as "jelly bean tetras", "adonis tetras", "mouse tetras", etc.

Does anyone know where I can find these or any other non-cichlid West African tropical fish? ???

I have never kept any of these fish so I can't really halp you...sorry.
Maybe another board that isn't so specialized?

Thanks for your response! I've done some searches, but my knowledge of the internet is limited. I'll keep looking, though. I've read an article that says that the West African species Ladigesia roloffi is commonplace in Europe & Asia.
