Hello everyone! I want to introduce a rare variety of Ramirezi. It is the result of crossing the electric blue variety and golden variety. I want to know if anyone has managed to cross these varieties and get one like mine or if have to get in a store. I think I was lucky. I hope to reproduce it. Regards.

My old lfs breeds them, so I don't see why they can't be bred in a provate aquarist's home

Honestly it looks no different to me, every EB ram I've seen had the golden head.

The strains I have seen are drastically brighter than the typical color morph. I started seeing these a couple of years ago here and in Europe who labeled them "Super Neon Blue Gold".
 
They have them at my LFS from time to time very stunning. There is a local ram breeder around because the tanks are always labeled local breeder.
 
I was purchasing wood at my LFS the other day and noticed that they had Electric Blue Balloon Rams. Those were new to me. I can't imagine how shallow that gene pool is.
 
Hi! Thanks all for your comments!
I have been looking for more information on this variety of color in the Ramirezi and its beautiful! There are more varieties or mutations result of crossing between the golden and electric blue but this is the most that I loved!
I want to clarify a few things because I've seen some doubts in other forums. First, there is not a hybrid, because this is a cross between varieties of the same species (Ramirezi Electric Blue and Golden). It's actually a new variety of color (a new mutation). I say new because I've seen and articles about this mutation and just date from 2013. To clarify any doubts that any people here may have, I share some pictures and Internet address that I found. So you can compare this photos with the golden ram or the electric blue ram and see that them are not the same color that the orange head EB. My own fish although in the video its color looks white, is not only white, the electric blue color looks depending on how the light illuminates it. When I take the video, the fish looked more white than blue but already today after little more than a week of intensive feeding can be seen more blue in its body. Another clarification is that these fish was not born in my tanks, rather, I buy it in a local store.
Well, I will continue looking for more info. to provide ok.. Regards.
