Balloon Body Ram

When I went to my LFS, I saw they had some balloon body gold Rams. I've looked online and really haven't found any tips on how to care for them. Anyone keep them? Who would they get along with?

 

I would not buy one, they are the same as a balloon Molly. They cause them to bend their spine and compact all their organs. I believe they have the same compatibly and requirements of the regular.

 

As a regular ram?

 

Yes, the balloons probably are more prone to diseases and earlier deaths though.

 

Agreed.
I dislike them, all I see is a birth defect. Why encourage that?
Just my opinion.
