Ram Angel Hybrid Compatibility

[golfproinlexky]

At my LFS today I spotted a "Ram Angel Hybrid" as it was labeled on the tank. Looked like a ram to me, so I'm not sure why it is called a Hybrid. I asked if it would be compatble with my discus and the answer was yes. I trust the LFS owner, but not enough to take a chance without asking the experts on this site.

Please share your experience with mixing, or not mixing these fish. Thanks!

probably a balloon ram..not really a hybrid..they were bred with the intended shape.

there is a long veil variety out there too.

balloon ram is definitely the right answer star...not sure why they commonly refer to them as "hybrids" in my area

Is it compatible?

[ibr3ak]

hmm why an angel?

Angels and rams cannot breed together. It's only another deformed strain selectively bred. Long-finned and balloon combo.

first they call them angel 'hybrids' because of the angel like body shape.(use your imagination or you won't visualize it:lipssealedsmilie: it's a stretch)
as for being compatible..yes..it will have the attitude of a ram which are very compatible with discus.

I agree with lupin.. I doubt seriously an angel would breed with a ram..tho they do make terrific tank mates.
