Amazon Ram?

Is there a cichlid called an Amazon Ram? The local fish store has some and they are beautiful little guys, but I can't seem to find any information on them...maybe I haven't looked in the right place They look a lot like a Bolivian Ram but are shorter and rounder looking. Is there maybe another name they go by?

Check www.cichlid-forum.com and search on that name. They have a ton of cichlid profiles.

Thanks I think I found them listed as a balloon ram. From what I found they are shorter than 2 inches, which is what the guy at the store said their adult size would be. Here is the link that I found the info about them at if anyone else is interested.

Yeah, now we just have to wait until Saturday to get any. The shipment the LFS got in had ich when they got them a little while ago so the guy is treating them and won't sell them until they have cleared up for a few days. Which I think is a good thing...

Not a fan myself. Its just a genetically mutated blue ram. The balloon rams are then bred for this mutation. Should be cared for like a typical blue ram though.
