I have a golden ram and, wow, the balloon version looks quite different except for color. I started off with 2 golden rams and then got ich which lead to a cycle upset. I lost one of them but the other has proven to be quite hardy. I keep my nitrates under 20 and use Amquel+ for any cycle upsets. Water with any ammonia, nitrites, or high nitrates can give them Hole in the Head disease. Do larger water changes than the usual. I do 30-50% most of the time.
He eats ANYTHING though flakes is his least fave. He will eat from my fingers too. Only one of 2 fish in the whole tank that will do that.
Alot of info will tell you they need to be at certain ph but I wouldn't worry with that. My ph is a little high but he does fine. Don't worry about ph unless yo decide to breed. My temp hangs out at about 79-80. I used to keep it around 78 and then read their colors are better in higher temps. I've seen no difference yet.
BTW, from the pic it looks like you might have a female!
