i already know the typicals..
red belly, is female and yada yada.
but i dont believe neither of my GBRs have pinkish red bellys.
1 ram is more colorful. the head front part is more yellow, and eyes are more red. also is more colorful on fins, and it has a semi black spot, like semi dark, then theres this other big black spot/strip/circle whatever, after the first line, and its really prominent, and theres no blue speckle in it, except for like at the very edges. and i just looked again, and possibly it has a pinkish belly..its just really faint.
the front tips of the bottom arm fin thingies are black/blue/orangey mix.
the other ram is rather dull kind of. the skin is a smokey/ashy color, but theres still blue. the pattern on its body is kinda like this:
but the pattern is much fainter, and obviously the fish isnt that blue..i know for sure its a GBR. anywways, what im saying is, theres no orange on the face, and no big vibrat black spot. its just more of a striped black with huisih blue all over.
and the colorful one is CONSTANTLY chasing the duller one. if that means anything
the reason why im asking is cause like the less colorful ram bugs me, because he IS ashy/smokey looking and i dont like it. i want a really vibrant one. so i dont know if its the gender or i just got a bad cichlid. when you pair them up, is it male male, or female male, or female female, thats best in a 55g tank?
