Hi to all,

I visited my buddy last night to see the GT he's got.
Felt in love after seeing it, decided to get myself one pc.
So this what i get today, I've chosen the biggest 1 among them.

Here are some photos for your pleasure viewing.
Since I have no budget nor space for more tank, I'm planning to keep this baby GT mix with my ranchus.

Cheers

No offence... but I call that a "freak" of nature.

Hi China,

Your Balloon GT may look cute, vivid colors and stuff... but that is a result of propagating a poor gene. Balloons occur when inbreeding is practiced.. i.e lineage of the same parents... i.e mating the brother and sister fish, the mother or son (in human terms we call it 'incest'

). In practicing such, one or two fries will come out with a balloon feature and this is then picked/selected to be propagated in mass i.e picking the deform fish raising it and crosssing it with another for its balloon like features. It's propagating a deform fish. A balloon fish has a deformed "spinal cord".

CC, I'm just curious...how do you see the "deformed spinal cord"?

China,

The fish for itself should reach a length of 12inches and not short bodied.. one clear look at the fish you could see that its spinal cord is "crooked" and not elongated like its natural form.

P/S google the term "lordosis" too.
