Me neither, well, I've never really seen normal balloon rams either, except in OddBaller's import thread.
The nice thing is they're not like normal gold rams that loose their color in cooler water (the bags temp dropped noticeably by the time I got home), they were still just as intense.
Also, a normal gold ram has the front half gold and the back half tends to be opaque or white, but these are solid.
Oh, and I've read that ropes like to be in groups; does anyone keep them in a group? How many? I'm thinking about picking up 2 more, too bad they wont be as big though....
Well, $20 for a royal isn't really common either. Usually I see them for $30, but Steve always has really good prices on his fish. He compares to other stores in the area, and even explains market control to me on certain fish! He knows what he's doing.
But I know Australia is infamous for expensive loriicarids
