My Bolivian Ram is a Gigilo!

[snoopy65]

I thought I had 2 male and 2 female Bolivian Rams (they are all about 2" give or take), but it turns out I have 1 male and 3 female. My male has been trading off every week or so spawning with 2 of them. I thought that the other was a male because it has a longer dorsal like the males do, but neither of the girls liked him. Well this evening, in the same tank that my angels are spawning just at the other end, the known male and the 3rd female spawned. I will get pictures tomorrow as lights are out in the tank.

I wonder when he will finally choose which one he is going to stick with or if his territory and spawning rock is just going to have a revolving door so to speak.

These days I guess not even fish are monogamous.

I've heard Bolivians can play the field. Sounds like you have one happy ram.

You'll know it's getting bad if he starts wearing gold chains and you hear Barry White music coming from the tank. erv:

Here is the pic of the rams and of the whole tank.

Looks like you have a nice bachelor pad set up for him.

That is hornwort zip tied and weighted down above and behind his rocks. I have read people talking about how it sheds, but mine just keeps getting bushier and longer. I just trimmed about a half gallon worth off of it yesterday.
