short-body blue rams

[CrystalizedHairs]

It's unlikely they are a hybrid, more a mutation derived by inbreeding. It's the same way you get parrot rainbowfish, short body green terrors, short bodied corys, balloon mollys, etc.

Hiddious mutants that should be culled.

To me they also do look kind of gross looking.

They're not hybrids. Just deformed. lol
I don't find them attractive either but I've seen some well kept one and they "pick up in the looks department" I would say.
Definitely helps that they're M. ramirezi with all the color to help make up for the hideous shape.
