Blue ram dancing?

I've never had Rams before and I currently have 2 electric blues. One female and one male although the male is younger. They seem to be getting along if the lacking of actually ramming is a sign. Weird question, my male ram goes up to my female ram puts himself kind of at a 45 degree angle with his head up and "dances" for her every day. What the heck is this? He kind of shimmies and shakes his tails.... It's amusing to watch because she is not interested.

 

I have never kept rams but it could be he is trying to convince her that he would make a good Dad? Alison

 

Possibly? It's pretty cute behavior but doesn't last long enough for me to video it!! She's very uninterested if it is mating behavior.

Our Bolivian ram "suspected male" just started doing this the other day too. It's very similar to what guppies do. Look up a guppy mating dance and see if it's similar. Very entertaining to watch !

Will do! If you can snap a pic of your Rams I can help sex them. Read a ton of info about sexing Rams before I bought mine!

Sounds great. I'll get an updated picture soon. I've looked a lot into vent sexing them, and I think it's a male, backed up by the fact that it's fin growth is way different than the other one. It's got some beautiful trailing red on its tail.

Any inputs you have would be great.

Here is the original pictures I posted. Let me know what you think. The "male?" Has had a lot more of the red tail trail grow in the past few weeks.

The one you hoped was female is definitely female. The other one it was hard for me to tell since his find were a bit clamped and I couldn't see his ventricle fins fully nor his fin near the anus. The combination of seeing those will show of male if you can get a better pic?
