Yeah of course a rhom is a rhom. But there are variations or types of rhoms. Im tired of people always stating that rhoms are rhoms. Its like saying an Asian arowana is an Asian arowana. Rhoms do have dfferent types and grades. If they didnt why would their be different price brackets for each rhom types. People that say a rhom is a rhom usually have the plain looking rhom varient that is least desired. No offense its just how i feel.

You can't compare farm raised fish that have been bred for coloration against wild caught rhoms. I say a rhom is a rhom because that's exactly what it is. You can't tell where this rhom came from with catching it out the river or knowing its catch point.this rhom could look very different in a different setup, diet, lighting ect ect ect. So you can say whatever you want as far as it looks like this or came from there but they're all GUESSES. You have keepers calling a rhom with single sparkling scale a diamond when in reality it isn't. I have a true diamond & yet I still call it a blk rhom.the reason some command higher prices is because of where they're being sold, where they've been shipped from, who's selling it, how many hands its went through to be sold ect ect ect.& because some keepers will spend more for a fish with a flashy name. Keepers take to much stock in a name. A rhom is a rhom & yours is a rhom.
