Best place for GBR??

XenoMorph2049 · 09-06-2006, 06:39 AM

Ok, I can find several places for GBR's, but, by your experience, wheres the best place to get them. I typically have gotten my fish from the Dr.s,and theyve been great to date, but I want the best colored, healthiest Rams I can get. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I got mine from ABOUT US I'm real happy with the quality of the fish and they are relatively cheap at $10 dollars a pair but the shipping is expensive because they only do overnight. I don't know about Dr's F&S here is a picture of one of mine

hope this helped

Indeed, gorgeous

. Im going to have to give them a call to see if I can get a shipping quote, as there site state they will tell you the shipping price AFTER you place an order. When I checked, it was $15 for a pair, but they were out of them. Waiting for payday to see if I can talk the wife into getting a pair and see if they have them in by then.

Have you checked out the local places. I got my pair from a small LFS that had purchased some locally bred rams and they are nicely colored and very healthy.

Yes, unfortunately theres only two in the area that can/do get GBR's. One I absolutely REFUSE to buy ANYTHING from. They dont really know anything about fish in general (or any other pets they carry), and they have a really poor attitude towards customers, to the extent of: Customer buys a few pieces of coral, gets deployment orders two weeks later, tries to return the pieces in better condition then when they were in the store (showing the orders for deployment), and is offered a store credit for 1/10th of the stores wholesale cost of the corals. Really nice people......... I understand a store has to make a certain ammount of money, but thats insane. The other store can get them, but for ALOT more than I can get a nice pair shipped to my door and has a "warranty" per say. Im all about supporting LFS's but only good ones. The other stores in the area dont really mess with them due to the PH around here being 8.2-8.2, and the fact that they have a reputation for being sensitive fish (probably the same reason store "B" sells them at such a high price).
