I read the thread about sexing rams but I could not see the obvious difference. The major thing I noticed about these two is the one I am calling the female has a much deeper body. Are these two a male and female (see pics below)?

Side story/question:
We ordered GBR's and got angel rams (thats what they called them on the invoice) and 2 GBR (they didnt look like the others) shipped to our store. They had ICH fairly badly when the came in so I treated them with quick cure and fed them garlic soaked brine for two weeks. The ich was gone in three days. I decided they were good to go on sale after about 3 weeks and brought the two GBR's home because they looked like a male and a female (and I get first dips cause I came in on Tuesday and when we were closed to treat them ). But the female hasnt gotten her color back as much as the male and she goes up and down the glass all day. Quick Cure has formalin and malachite green in it... you think it could have caused lasting damage or is she just adjusting?

In the picture on the bottom left, the ram on the left appears to be female (you can see just a hint of red on her belly) and the one on the right appears male.

its funny she has better coloration in that picture than she does in my tank... I couldnt see any pink on her belly or those glistening spots of blue... the lower spectrum ligh must not bring out thier color very well.

Hi Trio
I noticed that as well when I have taken photos of my fish and the GBRs when I had them. Its amazing what you see with a camera that you do not notice otherwise. Your GBRs are very nice looking, and I also agree with the above poster on your female.
Good luck with them!
