Spotted these in my Lfs,

Thought at 1st they were large mature Bolivian balloon rams But now they have balloon rams next to them I am not too sure now, They don't seem as balloon as the others

They are about 3 inches in length, fairly bulky compared to my sisters German rams, are Bolivians chunkier they seem and very chilled out compared to the other rams,

Now the pic is a slight angle so looks a little stumpy

They seem not as stumpy as balloon rams I have seen, these look like mini geophagus with bigger eyes

I have never seen a fully grown Bolivian ram so really have nothing to compare to,

After trawling the net I am starting to think they are just, Bolivian rams

Soo what do we think,

Another looks stumpy due to the camera angle

Yes, those are standard Bolivians. I didn't know here was a balloon version of the Bolivian. Have seen balloon variants of GBR and EBGR. .... not keen on any of the balloon fish TBH.

Thank you Fishlady,

Me neither, which is why I wanted to check

but I have fallen for these, believe it or not I have never seen Bolivian rams,

I have them on loan so may consider keeping them
