et_67 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm setting up a new tank and want to get a nice pair of small blue rams but I haven't been able to find any around the stores.... does anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 They're available quite often at all the usual stores. I think there's a few people who've managed to breed them up there too... Have you asked your lfs if they can get them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 we always get a good mix of males and females here in palmy, and assuming the stores use the same suppliers (which they do) - you should get some nice ones out there.... just takes some looking around...
