if you look from a distance at this the front on rams looks like a beer bottle
http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb18/Lukeelovesfish/GBRTango001.jpg

[Lukee]

they were $16 AUD around 12-13 us dollars
there is one definite female.. but the other smaller one, im not sure..
he is usually away from the pack..
maybe he is just a small male..
* our normal rams are 9AUD-6 US maybe

[jonnyfry]

beautiful rams , great pics too !

i see a POTM entry in there .

[pinkertd]

Fourth picture from the bottom you have a female (pink belly) and a male there. The black colored part of the front of the dorsal fin on males is longer than females. You'll be getting some eggs reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaall soon! What size tank are they in?

Debbi:)

[Fungi]

They're stunning!
If you are wishing to breed them, CathyG knows quite a bit, just let them sort out their pairs and take back the ones that don't. If you want to (seeing as you have only one female) Olly could trade one of his females (he has a few which we're gunna take back to BS) for one of your males, 'cos as far as I can see you've got *3 males and one female>
The way you tell is with the pink bellies and the second ray on the dorsal fin is longer (from davexstumpe and pinkertd).
Put one of thsoe pictures in POTM too! I've never got shots that clear!

[Irish563]

What size tank is that? How many do you have in there?

Irish

[Lukee]

20litres and 4 of em in there

[davexstumpe]

yes i agree. 1 female for sure.

12 dollars isn't for such a beautiful ram



let me know how everything works out!

[Steppenwccr]

I was just comin to say there is only one female, but I see others beat me to it.

[platytetrafan]

They are GORGEOUS very nice good luck with them :D

[Lukee]

hope someone see this!
its a movie of my two males fighting!
(i swapped the smalled male for a female, since i asked for 2 of each!)
the new female is slightly bigger and alot more "hot" in the fish world
:evil_lol: :lol:

[divingne1]

There definately seems like there is a boss of that tank. I was surprised to see the biggest one getting chased around and not defending himself that much. He must be laid back.

[DaddysLassie]

Wonderful pictures, some are of professional quality. Ever think of publishing some of your pictures? If I were you I'd try it. Beautiful fish.

[Lukee]

Great news...
NAWTTT
my rams have totally gone crazy
since the slighly smaller male is chasing the bigger one.
it has all changed today!
i was going to take back the bigger one today but it has earlly reversed!!
help:help:

[janewalsh11]
