📜 Backstory
Bam Bam (Orange Bam Bam) is a hobby-classic named morph whose bright orange fluorescence made it a staple of mixed paly/zoa gardens. It propagates well, grows fast and is widely available, which keeps it affordable despite its popularity. The originating colony's provenance is debated, with the name long since absorbed into general trade use.
Keeper tips for this variant
Moderate-to-bright light keeps the orange fluorescence saturated; moderate flow and mid-rock placement work well. A hardy, fast-growing beginner morph.
