The Blues

The Bolivians(both male)

Jacko · August 19th, 2007

I think you have a male Bolivian ram there cuteusagi.

Here is my late pair of GBR's, dang krib!

The female GBR:

The male GBR:

That is one of the most colorful bolivian rams I have ever seen Butterfly, I thought it was a GBR at first glance.

Here are my rams... or rather, one of them, who seems to be much less camera-shy than the other. These pics are taken with flash, the rams' colours are rather washed out by my aquarium light, which sucks

Bill · August 23rd, 2007

Another one

That is Pablo, without flash.

Howeyg · August 24th, 2007

my pair of blue rams , last pic of her spawning

Butterfly · August 24th, 2007

Howeyg- the first two are excellent examples of male and female rams.
For ID purposes- the first spine on the dorsal fin of the female is shorter that the others and her tummy is kind of pinkish purple.
The first spine on the dorsal fin of the male is longer than the others and he has no color change in the tummy.

Another one of Pablo - even though Miguel is the dominant one, I never get any decent photos of him :

Nice rams Howeyg! Females are very pretty.

Bill · September 1st, 2007

It doesn't look like a Bolivian at all, though. The body shapes, colours and eyes are completely different. Bolivians don't have those blue shimmery scales like blues and golds do, or the red faces. Bolivians have much larger eyes and a big black line on their face as well as a differently shaped tail fin, and the prdeominant yellow colour is absent on Bolivians.

Just because it's larger doesn't mean it's a Bolivian!

Bill · September 16th, 2007

Miguel, again

He's a bit shyer now Pablo's died.

capekate · December 7th, 2007

Took some photos today of the rainbows and decided to update the GBR photos too.

Bill · December 23rd, 2007

More ram pics! They've coloured up a bit now, they seem much more at ease in my tank.

capekate · January 4th, 2008

Ive been trying to get a good photo of the new girl, and came up with two here that are ok... not the greatest, but it will take a few days before she relaxes around the camera.

first photo is of the pair
second photo of the new female.

slakey · February 4th, 2008

here's a picture of my female in her and her mates dug-out:

This would be day 2 of having them = O

slakey · April 26th, 2008

A picture of my pair a few months back:

Just took a new one but was on my phone so picture quality is very minimal, but will get another so I can show you lot how big the male has got!

mathas · October 16th, 2008

Here's a pair of bolivian rams in full spawning colors, guarding a newly-laid batch of eggs. The male is up front, the female is the one closer to the eggs.

Ram_Kelly · October 19th, 2008

Here are some pretty decent pics of my 2 long fin GBRs. I can't tell if they are male/female or both male. I haven't seen any sign on a pink belly but the one with shorter fins does appear to have a shorter 1st dorsal fin spine. Who knows. Also, tell me what you guys think about the long fins. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they were the only ones I can find in a 50 mile radius of me>

04_si · October 20th, 2008

my pair breeding last night. pics arent great, i was just about to go to bed, and noticed the spawning happening.

Shaina · November 2nd, 2008

Butterfly · January 23rd, 2010

This is a male and the only one I have left from the last spawn. He's about a year old. Gotta find him a pretty girlie

Here's the latest pictures of my Bolivian Rams.

I have one definite male in the foreground of the picture above. He has the long ray on his tailfin.

The other one, is unsexed so far. Others have thought it was both male and female.
