I have a question for you Ram keepers, the fish on the right side of this picture was sold to my girl-friend as a female German Blue Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi ). I say it is a female Bolivian Ram (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus). Rams are hard to find locally so when my girl-friend was going to Va. Beach I asked her to stop by one of the larger fish stores to pick up a couple of German Blue females. Unfortunately I was working and could not make the trip but trusted them as I have had good luck with them in saltwater corals. The other fish they sold her is not pictured but looks almost identical to this one. I called them up and questioned the ID of the fish but they told me it IS Mikrogeophagus ramirezi.
I'm not sure I want them in the tank with my German Blues if they are what I think they are, I have on bonded pair and a single male.
