yes mail order/ONLINE purchasing
try it out, at least investigate it
good lord, take your list and read up on each one, some of those grow huge, some are so aggressive, some are NOT for begginers!!

Also go to their "library" section and then to the "quick reference".....there they'll have a "cooky cutter" guide you can get use to get an idea of what you need to put together as a beginner in cichlids. I've never kept anything but mbunas and if you want my opinion they're the best candidates for those just getting into african cichlids and want to set their first community up right. 
With mbunas, they all eat the same (they're vegetarians and don't take well to meat at all), the females are almost just as colorful as their male counterparts, if not as colorful, and accept for the aggressive ones like demasoni, kenyis, and bumble bees.....you can mix and match em without a lot of problems.
Those are red zebras in my avatar....had my 55 gallon stocked full with those and yellow labs and clown loaches. The best tank I ever had.
