I've been looking and looking for suitable Ballon Rams for over a year now. Still haven't found one I like in the LFS. Either the colour is faded, the fish looks sickly, the body is the gold coloured ones. Has anyone come across nice Balloon Rams like these ones? http://www.geocities.com/yutaka_loo/

Are Rams like Rummy Noses... where the colour does not show until you have an optimum aquarium for it to thrive? I found some in a LFS but the price was RM 15 a pair! Next to the normal Rams at RM 6 a pair... hmm... is this a reasonable price? I thought Balloon Rams costs about the same as normal Blue Rams?
