how common are rams?

i would really love to buy some rams but i haven't seen them in any pet stores for a while. i've seen bolivian rams but i'm not that interested in them. just wondering if pet stores near you sell rams.

I have german blue rams. They pretty much look the same but are said to be a little hardier. My LFS stocks them whenever he can get them. You may want to ask LFS mine will try to get specific fish if you let them know you want them. Good luck they really are nice fish.

Call, call, call. Every week. Find out if the store has any on order, find out when the order will come in. On that day they come in, be at the store at opening. If it's unusual that your IFS stocks Rams, then take the extra effort to reinforce your desire to purchase them.

I had to wait a few months before today, when I purchased three more Blue beautiful Rams!
