Why don't try NKS in Hougang??
I believe they do carry Blue Rams. Very common but attractive fish.
My favourite fish before I switch to Apistogramma.

Actually, what is the difference between a balloon ram and a german ram?
The two pics below, any belong to the balloon ram species? Initially I thought it was the one with blue background because the body is more rounded and protruding resembling that of a balloon.
Balloon Rams are a deformed farm bred variant of the normal Ram. Basically an ornamental variant like the longfinned version and other colour forms of the Rams (Electric Blue Ram, Gold Rams). The Balloon Rams have a shortened body since they were specifically bred for that body shape, like other "Balloon" fish variants (Balloon Molly, Balloon Platy, Balloon Flagfish etc). Sometimes they can come with missing tails like some Parrot Fish.
I do not keep them because I feel they are ugly, and do injustice to the true beauty of the actual Ram. Others find them cute though, so it's all up to the fish keeper.

Thanks bro... but just home with a pair of Apistogramma Panduro...
Good luck. Panduros are tough critters, and just as tough on tankmates.

Sorry... tough in what sense? Having the pair with neon tetras, cherry barbs and cories...
Was at Wu Hu looking... he has 2 pairs of Panduro and a pair of "kuku" (sorry, i have no idea of the name) which he says is pretty common."Kuku" is less than half price of Panduro...
Tank wise, they are in a Jewel Rekord 60, fully covered...
Certain individuals amongst nijsenni/panduro can and will exhibit some aggression towards their tank mates. I had a male nijsenni beat up one of my corys to death once. That was a long time ago and the male nijsenni did not last long either, due to my negligence.
When they are in breeding mode, the female will chase away any and every other fish from the area fairly viciously.
Your tetras and barbs will be fine, but watch the corys. Some apistos will beat up on corys if they come too close or enter their territory.

They are also known as Cockatoos.
Because of the male's dorsal fin.

Keke... After much browsing... I realised that as well.... Not got a little poisoned... Thinking what pair I should have in my office...
What do you feed your ram with?
I Just bought these 2 little fellows....Balloon Ram? Aren't they cute?
NLS sinking pellets? Frozen bloodworms? Frozen Mysis?
Hi Guys, I was at C328 today and saw a tank of GHR. Deem see much of the female but alot of males. The size is good at 2". You can check it out
Yup, these balloon rams do look cute...
But... I prefer this one
German blue ram - Copyright www.jjphoto.dk
How about that piece in the center? What ram is that?
German Blue Ram male I guess. The ones to the sides are Balloon Rams.
Here's another newer strain of Rams:

Electric Blue Ram. I first saw them at the recent Aquarama, but have not seen any in the LFS yet.
