Have you guys ever seen a Royal Gramma on DD? I'm trying to buy exclusively from DD and really want a Royal Gramma
Unlikely. I don't see the profit for DD because the markup would be pretty high for a fish that you can get for 10-15$ at any LFS.
Get one from your LFS or alive aquaria, and you should be QT'ing all fish, including ones from DD. They don't say disease free on their webpage for a reason.

Here you go jraker.
Thanks. My LFS keeps it with a very mean domino damsel.

Thanks, that was an interesting article. I couldn't find out very much on them other than a few pictures. The pictures were the same at a few different sites..
It sure is a beautiful fish!
I see someone bought the nice clown pair.

I have but not very often.
BTW every fish in my tank came from DD.

Your kidding me? No expense spared I guess. How many fish so you have? DD had EVERYTHING you wanted? There are things I want they will never have no matter how many times I request it. What they do have from time to time is a 200% markup from other sources. The refund part is nice and sets them apart, don't get me wrong but everyone that sells online has a guarantee.

One reason I like them so much is the only disease I have ever got from them is ich. I have had every disease under the sun from other online retailers and over time they have all died sooner or later leaving me with DD fish. Over the years, I have lost my share of fish from DD but ultimately they seem to be of a better quality.
AlsoI have no LFS within about 3 hours of my town so I am forced to purchase online.
In no particular order:
Regal angel
Purple Masked angel
Potter's angel
Golden angel
watanabe angels both females
Yellow tail tamarin wrasse
mystery wrasse
yellow flanked fairy wrasse
blue streak cleaner wrasse
desjardini tang
vlamingi tang
Blue Caribbean Tang
Yellow tang
orange skunk clown pair
bartlett's anthers x6
blue throat trigger
Most of my tangs were purchased juvenile and grew up together and all get along very well. I know my 180 is a little small for some of my fish but were purchased when I had a 330.
I sold quite a few fish when I downgraded my tank.I even drove two of my tangs three hours away to give them a good home. One of which was my favorite powder blue tang. He was so tame and let me catch him with my hand while eating.

It was a trio for $499.99
I didn't say I was buying from DD for lack of disease...? I prefer their process and in making sure the fish are healthy/eating prior to selling.

A Royal Gramma would be one of the last fish I would buy from them. Eating should never be a problem with them and the ones DD offers are likely on the larger side. I prefer Gramma as small as possible and in a group - that way they get along and you are sure to get a pair/harems group without extra males.
Yet it doesn't guarantee that the fish actually arrive healthy and eating. Shipping always bears a risk.
The Red Sea Regal I got from them never took a bite, while all the ones I bought locally are eating well.
The good thing about LA/DD is their warrantee and refund policy.

Giovanni and I are in the same boat. Where I live, an LFS is hours away. While DDs refund policy is definitely nice, and I've used it on several occasions, for me it's also about seeing THE fish I'm going to get. That's as close as I can get to picking out a fish at an LFS without having to make that long drive. While there are a few other sites who have wysiwyg, their listings are usually very sparse, so I'm stuck with DD whether I like it or not, lol.
