I did it again

I was at the store after work and saw a beautiful mating pair of rams. They had a great deal on for all the fish except feeders and SW, the deal was two for one. I just couldn't pass up that deal since a single ram at other stores is about $15 and these were $9(each and then $4.50 with deal). I got home and realized what I had done, but they are in the 37 with my angels and 3 lemon tetras and were doing great when I turned off the lights earlier. They have great color and they seem to be a male and female, since they had them all in the same tank and there was dozens of them. I hope I didn't screw up.

The angels seem to leave them alone because they are the same size as the lemon tetras and the same shape.

Nice one! I love rams. You can normally tell if a ram is female because it won't have a tall ray on the dorsal fin and long pelvic fins like the males do.

Do the females have more red on their bellies too? The one I think is a female has a lot of red on the belly like a female krib does. But I am certain they are a pair because they fo almost everything together and they love to hide behind my aerator and under the piece for the filter intake. I think they have claimed the bottom for their own and the angels have claimed the middle to top of the tank, so I think they will only meet when they feed.

Yeah, the females have a lot of pink pigment on their bellies. My blue rams are definitely frisky, but I haven't seen any overly aggressive behavior out of the blues or the bolivians so far. They just talk a big game, really.
