    Went to TEO's farm yesterday and saw some beautiful Rams in the tanks. There are adults Ram which I think they are the so-called Holland Ram (or German??). The body is round. I know there are the gold rams but how many types are there? The price of Ram is lfs were very different too, some < $2 and some > $8. I'm confused. Those Ram in TOH's are beautiful too but are they the same as those displayed in TEO's? Anyone done a 'research' on this before? Btw, was it called the 'bar-wa-ki' (sounds like that) before?

    I think Teo's Ram are those from toh since toh and teo are so close to each other. They are actually side by side when they are at punggol area.

    Rams are very nice fishes but they are considered as microgeopahgus which aslo mean eartheaters or mini-eartheaters where they breed on the substrade.

    saw the following names given to ram:
    Microgeophaus ramirezi
    Papiliochromis ramirezi
    Apistogramma ramirezi

    i think they are the same type. those orange or white are 'man-made', i think. also read an web site saying that ram has abt 1-2 years life span just like killifish. how sad, this beautiful creature has such a short life.

    FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

    The most recent is Microgeophaus.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.
