Default New strain of Blue Rams in LFS

I live in Minnesota, USA, and for as long as I can remember all the Blue
Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) have been the 'German Blue Rams' from the
stock of German breeders that had bread a more colorfull (?) strain.
They are torpedo shaped, about 1/2 as high as they are long, with a flat
back and stomach.

Today at the local PetCo they have a tankfull of Blue Rams that were
much, much more rounded (Discus proportions), about one inch long and
about 7/8 inch high and very colorfull with tall fins and chubby
looking. These are not German Blue Rams.

Thinking of getting a pair for a new planted 30USGal, in the planning
stages.

Can anyone comment on these observations.
