Went to a lfs today after visiting mum, firstly to let the chap who gave me chops know how he is getting on, unfortunately he wasnt there. So I thought a quick look in the tanks wouldnt hurt, then I came across the most sickening balloon species yet, Balloon Texas!!! 
poor little guys with massive eyes and shortened bodies and from the way they were all liplocking and squabbling they were obviously more mature than their 2" size would lead you to believe. I am shocked at why on earth someone would knowingly deform such a fish, I dread to think what these poor little guys would look like once they get more mature and start to deepen in the body and get the hump on the head. The picture and discription on the tank was that of a normal texas (no indication of the size these guys get)
