Where to buy a good Nem?

PSU4ME · Feb 22, 2020

So with my new tank I want to have (start) with one nem. The tank will be 140 display, 45 sump so large enough but I only want to do one so I want to get something nice.

I don't want price to drive what nice means but I want something unique with some character.

So what and where the places to look/buy?

Thanks

Start here in the livestock selling forum.

Otherwise local clubs have members that always get splits. Private party is my 1st choice as they will be reasonably priced

Yeah I was looking local but nothing great, I’m at the point where I’ll need to have one shipped likely

What kind of nem????

I would be patient until you can find a local hobbyist to get one from when it splits. Usually cheaper and higher quality.

I agree that locally is best but I do t want to try and establish a nem with a tank full of corals if I can avoid it.

As for the type, I’d like a colorful RBTA type. I used to have an incredible RBTA which was nice. I see a lot of crazy ones out there too but it seems like finding them is a one off thing. Is there any “nem only” websites?

Im in MA so if anyone reading this has one, let me know.

Hey, I just ordered a Bubble tip from Aquatic Arsenal, so hopefully I'll have something good to share about them soon. But I'm also from your neck of the woods in Massachusetts. European Aquatics in Malden had a bunch of small RBTA last week (not sure if they are still there or not). I didn't get a price, but I'd guess somewhere around $50.
