Any one breeding really good German Blue Rams or Bolivian Rams?
Or does anyone know a hobbyist outsude of the forum that is working with good quality stock?

Liz's Dutch Blues are pretty nice if she's still breeding them.

Al, the Dutch are the same as the German Blues except they were developed from wild stock in Holland. I don't breed them any more, I only breed the Pitch Blacks now, but I got mine from Tristan on AB. He breeds them but if he doesn't have any listed right now, he may have some if you ask. He does a lot of local business so he doesn't always list everthing he has available.

I ended up getting in touch with Tristan through his website and ordered a couple of pairs of the Dutch Blues. He will be shipping out to me Monday.. Meanwhile the Black Rams Brian Sent me ( from Liz originally) are doing well.. and looks like I may have a pair already in the group.

I should have snuck a few golds in there. Let me know if you want some, lol...

Got my dutch rams in quarantine now since last week. I have 6 (3 males & 3 females) in a barebottom 55 gal. They are doing great. The experience of working with Tristan was great. Bought the fish online from his website.

He sent a confirmation message and shipped as promised. Fish arrived perfectly packed and healthy.
I would definitely recommend him.
Im really happy with these rams.
Will post some pics latter today.

Nice looking rams and good luck with them! Shame Coral isn’t breeding them any more. I got some beautiful rams from him. Just recently I got 8 from Chuck. 6 golds and a pair of blacks. They were offsprings of Liz’s blacks. 136510136511

Those Blacks are really nice! My batch from Brian ...whose stock came from Liz.. whose stock came from I think Coral Bandit are doing well, But not adults yet. Don't know how Black they will be. I don't have Golds, which I guess I should get. I read somewhere that crossing the Golds to blacks improves the blacks?

I think the golds are part of the mix when breeding black rams. The gold are bright. Coral had long fins too. They were great looking. Probably my best ram pic!136514
