55 Gallon Tank My German Blue Ram looks goofy

I’ve kept a single GBR in a community before but he was a meaner GBR so I had to sell the female. He lasted over a year until ich got most of the tank a while back. I rescaped and went with 5 millennium rainbow fish, 8 black skirt tetras, around 10 otocinclus, 2 bamboo shrimp and a half banded spiny eel in a 55 gallon. After they settled for a while I just really wanted to try a pair of GBRs again. Have had them for a bit and they get along great. The female has some ego and chose my sword as her territory and the male is pretty friendly, has great color, long fins and has grown quickly but his mouth is slightly off to the right lol. He eats fine so I think it’s something from birth I just think it’s funny.

Wish I could try GBR's, unfortunately my pearl cichlid would kill it, but GBR's looks so goofy, might be another reason to get a another tank
Yours looks amazing

The female will lay eggs soon.

Thank you! If you setup that tank for them, you’ll love it. They just have great personalities and morphs.

The female will lay eggs soon.

I’m hoping so. I’ve always wanted to breed different fish but have only been successful with shrimp and snails so far.

Update: Confirmed pair!!
I didn’t take a picture or video of it but my female ram laid eggs and they both were protecting them fiercely but my half banded spiny eel ate the eggs. The rams are just too small to fight him off right now but if anyone in Alabama would want some of the offspring I’ll setup a tank to raise them. If not, I won’t try for it since I don’t have anywhere that’ll take them and I would only want to keep one for a small blackwater tank.
