By day zero aggressive behavior towards any of rhe fish buy by morning dead fish fins chewed off no eyes ever!

Where do you source your south american cichlids from? I am new to the hobby and am located in the Indy area. I recently lost my favorite fish, an EBA that I purchased from my LFS 6 months ago. After talking with other hobbyist in the area I have heard that the fish from this particular LFS are not of the best quality. I plan to start a 125 or 150 gal south american cichlid tank in the future and want to ensure that I invest in top quality fish this time. I specifically am interested in geophagus varieties and EBAs.

I do have 2 blue electrics, a sylvini (I might have mispeled), and some firemouths. But other than that, in keeping a smaller tank lots of these fish seem all kind of just normal gray looking.
