Re: Bolivian Rams vs Blue Rams

They require almost the same conditions, bolivians get bigger, german blues tend to have more color. It comes down, honestly, to personal choice.

Re: Bolivian Rams vs Blue Rams

Your tank figures out about 56G so you have plenty of room. I would suggest though that you get 1 male and 2 females of which ever type you decide to get. if you have just 1 male and 1 female the male will most times harass the female and sometimes harass her to death.

Blues are certainly more brightly coloured, but Bolivians are very pretty too. Google Image search them for comparisons. Bolivians live longer and are more hardy, less prone to disease.
