Any Chance At All?

[Truck]

I'm giving away the neons and the plec. What's the common name for the ram I posted?

MICROGEOPHAGUS RAMIREZI - ram, blue ram, german blue ram.

As opposed to Mikrogeophagus altispinosus which is the bolivian ram.

Ah, thought so...

just remember...Mikrogeophagus means (small earth eater) so sand is essential

 

[Keithoms]

Yep, i changed all tanks to sand at crimbo Remember the betta in the bag over msn?

Do they dig up all plants?

 

[Truck]

oh yeh, i remember now, no they dont dig up plants, they sift sand for food etc

MICROGEOPHAGUS RAMIREZI BALLOON 5.49 STUNNING COLOUR XL A18

Whats the difference between these two (Pictures if possible

Whats the balloon?

 

[Truck]

ballon is german blue ram,

gold rams have a gold tinge to the body where as normal GBRS are normally are a whitish-silvery colour, which in my opinion looks better

 

[Keithoms]

Yeah, i prefer standard GBR's too. Ok, looks like im placing an order from trimar!

Whats the balloon?

Balloon refers to their body shape, I think its a spinal disorder (they looked deformed to me, but each to their own) that causes this. Gold rams are just a colour varient.

I much prefer the 'regular' blue rams, the ones that are 'ballooned' are man maid deformities in my opinion.

 

[Keithoms]

Wildwoods

Wholesale Tropicals

Neither has blue rams in stock (wholesale tropicals has gold ones), I havn't used these so cannot comment on quality/delivery charges.

Is there any special reason why you want to order online? I'd have thought checking around your LFS would be cheaper (and more fun )

 

[Keithoms]

LFS didnt have any last time i was in.

Ill check again thoo...
