Re: German Blue Rams/ Wild Caught...

["Max Gallade" <mgallade@hotmail.com>]

Hey Jerry,
They are offsprings of the Giant German Blue Ram.
Some crazy German breeder released them into the local Northrhine 
Westphalian rivers.I think it was that dude from the Sauerland that fled to 
California.He's on this list.I believe he also bred or better said created 
that Schalke 04 Apisto which surfaced around the beginning of April in 
Germany.
The Rams made it in to the Rhein (Rhine) river.From there they swam 
downstream into the Northern Sea.Crossed the Atlantic and just like Salmon 
found their way home back into the Llanos of Venezuela.Soon,they started to 
mingle and breed with the local wild Ram population.There you have it.That's 
why they call them Wildcaught German Blue Rams.This explains the high prize 
tag, too.The F1 's are called Mikrogeophagus ramirwalter.
How's that for an explanation from another crazy German:)
Have a great weekend all
Max
