Solid order. The Rams are acclimating nicely
Great looking, healthy, love the new tank mates!
After the wait of trying to find just the right temperature to get these guys out here to Arizona we finally managed it. Temps dropped just enough and they arrived safe and sound. Adjusted well to the new tank and are and are a delight to watch! They are definitely a favorite and I will be purchasing from here again.
