Hyper.. please don't take it too seriously. Yogi here is not judging.. he's just expressing the fact that these so called selective bred fishes for its specific traits really don't last very long in your tanks. No explanation whatsoever can be given, its probably a trade secret. My reasoning is that they are usually raised from mud ponds.. not quarantined and send to the wholesalers and to LFS and then to hobbyists tanks at home. They are probably more susceptible to diseases during transit.
As for German rams, there's no doubt that there are no LFS stocking them. We are breeding them true here in Malaysia... and if you'd like some you can p.m me for the prices. With a glance you'd probably have problems differentiating the German ones with our local stocks.. but if you see them often enough you can tell. Their dorsal fins just seems erected at most times.... and the body is well proportioned.
