Poor quality cell phone pics - I know. Give it your best shot please. I may have two of the same sex which would explain the aggression and stress related illness. These are all the same fish. Thanks.

rams are really easy but those pics arent clear enough... look at the big black spot on the side if there are blue spangles inside the spot its a female also the girls will have a pink belly... males wont
 
Male. Even when stressed my female has a small amount of pink in the belly. Also It seems to me that my male seems to be more orange in the nose area.

I've seen females and males with the bluish spangles inside the black spot. However, it seems that the males have the spangles which extend to the tail where females have a limited amount inside the spot. This fish has spangles inside the spot, but they extend to the tail region. I'm 95% sure it's a he. It also has the longer 2nd/3rd ray dorsal 'spine', but it flops a bit and makes it hard to tell - especially in those cam phone pics I posted.

Thanks all.
 
im just saying good luck keep them alive.
 
In my experience german blue rams and gold rams. The 1st dorsal spike on males is longer than the rest. Females they are all they same. The 3 different rams I bred were paired this way and raised viable fry.
