As far as getting killifish is concerned, some LFS do carry killies, but they are stores which get them from local breeders.
If you join the AKA, you will get two resources that will assist you in getting the killies you want:
1. The business newsletter is a monthly publication with lists of killies and killifish eggs offered by other members. During the prime shipping season, (I think it's March through October), live delivery is guaranteed through the AKA's code of ethics. There are also announcements of meetings and shows in various parts of the country.
2. Affiliate clubs. There are a number of AKA affiliates in the U.S. which cover most of the major metropolitan areas around. By finding your closes club, you will be able to get killies directly from breeders who can and will coach you on their proper care.
