The Balloon German Ram Rosy, also known as the Blue Ram or Butterfly Cichlid, is a popular and colorful fish species native to South America. It features vibrant colors, including shades of blue, yellow, and red, along with intricate patterns. It is a peaceful and relatively small cichlid, reaching around 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in length.
On the other hand, the Balloon Ram is a selectively bred variant of the German Ram. It is characterized by its rounder, more balloon-like body shape due to a genetic mutation. The Balloon Ram maintains the same coloration and temperament as the German Ram.
If you are referring to a variant or specific color morph of the German Ram with a rosy coloration, it might be a unique variation selectively bred by hobbyists. However, it is essential to note that the rosy coloration might not be a recognized or established variant within the German Ram species.
