Barradas' Rams
About one year ago, I've got some wild rams collected by a German friend
in Venezuela near the town of Barradas.
At first, the fishes were small and didn't show much color or something
special.
But when they became adults, they have developed brilliant colors, and
for my opinion, much different from the Asian bred rams we normally see
in the trade.
Basically, the Barradas population is much slender bodied than the Asian
ones (that, from the photos I have seen, are quite "robust"), and with
much more blue than the "normal" rams. Some individuals also have upper
and lower caudal fin lobes with red color (like Microgeophagus
altispinosa).
Does anybody know something about rams bred in other countries? Are they
deep-bodied like the Asian stock too? Do they look (according to above
description) with Barradas fish?
Cheers, Marco.
