I don't have any experiences myself, but I've got links to sites people have had good experiences with. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |

Moreover, in my experience Rams are a lot more delicate than Cardinals and so presumably would ship worse. My advice is to have your LFS special-order them. |

The guy I bought mine from was Apistodave. I think his website is softwatercichlids.com. I say go for it. Good luck, Mike ps. Weve got a trading thread going in classifieds. You might post there saying you want Rams, Somebody might have a batch and ship you some for something you've got. |

Theresa_M  Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004   | I've ordered from [link=AquariumFish.net]http://www.aquariumfish.net/index.html" style="COLOR: #FFFFC0[/link] and [link=LiveAquaria.com]http://www.liveaquaria.com/" style="COLOR: #FFFFC0[/link]. AquariumFish has no minimum order, shipping is $24.75. LiveAquaria has a minimun order of $29.99 and shipping costs $24.99. I had no problems with either. I've also purchased fish online from a breeder, and once from AquaBid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
