Where should I look locally to get a nice (but small) nem?

[Daniel@R2R]

I'm looking for something a little nicer than a standard rbta. Who should I contact in SoCal? I've only got a 50g cube, so it will need to be small. Any recommendations?

I had a hard time just finding a rbta. Really wanted to get a rainbow nem

Two Guys Corals in Anaheim is a good place to start. They have a very good stock of nems. I was there last weekend and they had a couple pink btas and one or two of their lemondrop (yellow) btas. If you want something a little more high end I suggest seeing Ben at CaliKid Corals in Whittier. He usually has a few rainbows. Wouldn't hurt to give him a call first.

Have you guys ever been to Ellis Aquatics in Compton I love their corals hands down best prices anywhere they are very affordable it’s street parking They have extreamly good prices on SPS colonies
I recently bought two fire shrimps @ 30
They have nice hammer corals and torches starting at 25 always good to call and ask or text


I would say be careful with their small selection of fish always be observant of all the tanks when you go to a local fish shop I’ve seen some with some not so great fish

The hardest part of the hobby is when you don’t have a proper quarantine system so I’m always cautious of any fish store

For fish I’ve been to a few local fish stores but prices and quality of fish I always look out for
And I’ve been to RAINBOW FISH and loved their selection and prices they have corals as well

I went on a Sunday a lot of fish stores close on those days and loved it there
I got a salefin
Flame angel
and blue tang @ 30$

they actually have sales (check their twitter on Instagram page the usually post when they some fish for sale ) on fish extremely helpful there someone on staff is always asking if I needed help and the place was busy some stores don’t even ask

They had some gigantic monster eels there witch was awesome. I did really like the place and my fish looked healthy and are thriving in my tank. I
Always am catusious when I see multiplefishes struggling at some local fish shops I’ve seen plenty at a lot of local fish stores. Always be cautious and quarantine

If your still looking I have a small rainbow RBTA available in west Anaheim 92801 for $50. Mind you healthy BTA anomonies can grow to 14” pretty quickly.
