I'm looking to buy another bta for my nem tank. I already have an ultra rainbow, black widow, and speckled hulk (which I'm recovering). But I'm looking for either a true lemon drop, candy corn, maybe a sunset or something close to it. Doubt I can afford a csb.

Or I'd love to get a hold of a purple base ritteri.

Let me know if you have anything like what I'm looking for.

Really, I saw a so called lemon drop online several months ago for 350. But not sure if it's a true lemon drop.

Yes Sir. A true Lemon Drop would certainly be more expensive than a CSB. Problem is that people put names on things that aren't original. Sometimes people will call Chicago Sunbursts Lemon Drops as well.

You also need to watch which bubble tips you put together. Not all of them play nice with each other. You don't want a cheap one killing your high dollar one. Know a couple people that had this happen to them.

So far luckily they all have been playing nice. I run carbon to keep any toxic warfare down.

I've seen several bta's sold by some exotic names which after looking at them they appear to be your standard bleached rbta or gbta. And finding a true Sherman is difficult.

Shermans aren't difficult to find. Just look for the vendors selling large black widows that don't have any webbing between the tentacles. I've seen "trusted" online retailers selling Shermans as Blackwidows recently. If you are ever in Pittsburgh I have a good friend with several tanks filled with Sherman Rose Bubble Tips.

I've found a few that are just regular rbta's that people are selling as Sherman's but haven't found a true Sherman yet. But it's also hard to tell through pics on a website. Unfortunately I'm in Alabama but if your friends want to sell one and ship it I'm interested!
