The Blues






The Bolivians(both male)

 

I think you have a male Bolivian ram there cuteusagi.


Here is my late pair of GBR's, dang krib!


The female GBR:


The male GBR:




That is one of the most colorful bolivian rams I have ever seen Butterfly, I thought it was a GBR at first glance.

 

 

Here are my rams... or rather, one of them, who seems to be much less camera-shy than the other. These pics are taken with flash, the rams' colours are rather washed out by my aquarium light, which sucks

 

Another one ;D



That is Pablo, without flash.

 

Another one of Pablo - even though Miguel is the dominant one, I never get any decent photos of him :

Nice rams Howeyg! Females are very pretty.

 

Miguel, again



He's a bit shyer now Pablo's died.

 

Here are some more pics of my ram(s)

I have 2 girls, pink belly:




Who has better colors ? Hum ?

More ram pics! They've coloured up a bit now, they seem much more at ease in my tank.

 

Here's a pair of bolivian rams in full spawning colors, guarding a newly-laid batch of eggs. The male is up front, the female is the one closer to the eggs.

Here are some pretty decent pics of my 2 long fin GBRs. I can't tell if they are male/female or both male. I haven't seen any sign on a pink belly but the one with shorter fins does appear to have a shorter 1st dorsal fin spine. Who knows. Also, tell me what you guys think about the long fins. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they were the only ones I can find in a 50 mile radius of me>

 

my pair breeding last night. pics aren't great, I was just about to go to bed, and noticed the spawning happening.

 

Some BOLIVIAN Ram pics

1. Male in breeding colors
2. Little blurry, but here's the 'top' male, with his female behind him

 

I don't keep GBRs any more, but here are some pictures from when I did.

My pairs... any tips for picture taking... its always fuzzy o,o

Ram egg laying a treat indeed

 

hers a couple pics of the 2 I just got.. they were in the wrong tank, so the label was fora different ram, so I got them a few bucks each cheaper..lol

so far they're gettin along grett, haven't even seen one chase the other once..they just kinda hang out..

 

This is a male and the only one I have left from the last spawn. He's about a year old. Gotta find him a pretty girlie

Pics of my Bolivian Ram

Here are some pictures of my young Bolivian Ram. I think it is a male, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

Hey this is my first two GBR's settled done well and enjoying their tank!!!

 

Here's my new GBR enjoying my new 20L. I think I've got a female.

 

heres mine

heres my Blue Ram

 

Here are some amatuerish shots of my electric blue. Ive not been able to sex them yet, but have a feeling ive got 2 females!

 

is that a GBR or bolivian?

Looks to me like a German, due to the red eye color.

Some shots of my bolivians below. Forgive the quality, my only camera is my droid phone.







Notice the juvenile Jack Dempsey hanging out with them thinking he is a BR!? lol They get along quite well. He follows them around like a little puppy dog.. "hey guys wait for meeeeeee". Too bad he is going to get to big for me to keep. He's got a new home lined up already.

These are my 2 bolivian rams - Buttface (L) and Baby Buttface (R) (Named on account of attacking my angelfish). I think they're female/male respectively but if anyone could confirm (or counter) that I would be grateful. It took forever to get a decent photo of them both together as they rarely stay still more than a couple of seconds! Unfortunately the site won't allow me to upload the full size hi-res photo so I've cropped the areas showing their vents to show them in more detail. A little background info follows...

I adopted Buttface as an adult fish, no idea how old. Baby was purchased as a juvenile (hence the name). I suspected Buttface was male, mainly because of the extended front rays on the dorsal fin and 'his' aggressive nature (constantly harrassing Angel). In June I decided to get him a mate All the Bolivians at the fish store were juveniles so it was a bit hit & miss trying to pick a female - After a little discussion the store assistant & I agreed that Baby was the most likely female.

The plan worked. Buttface rarely hassles Angel now. Up until about a week ago the rams spent a lot of time 'facing-off' & lip-locking, especially at feeding times - They'd often miss out on the live food because while they fought over it the other fish would polish it off! They established separate dens in opposite corners of the tank & whenever Buttface came out of 'his' corner Baby would stare briefly before charging accross the tank at 'her' larger tankmate.

About a month ago Baby's frontal dorsal rays became more pronounced as did the trailing edges on the dorsal & tail fins. By now I'm beginning to think that I sexed them both wrongly initially.

Suddenly within the last week they're like best buddies swimming around peacefully together and sharing the den which fortunately is the one in the nearside corner enabling better observation. They're very protective of this den regularly cleaning it & seeing off any fish that comes near it, even having a go at a 12" pleco.

It seems quite unlikely that 2 males would be so chummy but I know there are exceptions to every rule so any confirmation of my current belief the Buttface (Left) is female & Baby buttface (Right) is male would be greatly appreciated... Thanks.

Here are the 2 bolivian rams I purchased 4 days ago. Can anyone weigh in on which one is male and which is female? I have got conflicting answers on this forum and would like some more opinions. Thanks

My GBR's with newly free swimming fry

 

Trying to get this guy back to good health. I got him 50% off at petco because he was the smallest baby and was being bullied to death.

 

My Bolivian,no name decided upon. Last photo still a juvenile

My favorite fish (also my profile pic).

 

My awesome local fish store Reef to Rift always always has amazing stock!

 

My pair (I have two others that I believe are female so they will have to be moved to another tank away from these two) of german blue rams.

 

My Bolivian Ram that I got a couple weeks ago. No idea if it's a boy or girl yet (I'm thinking still juvenile so I'll have to wait for a while to find out.)
I'm hoping that bit of pink behind it's gills is just natural colouring and not anything health related (really want to make sure this guy is healthy )
