Bolivian Rams

Hmmm so I'll conclude (and correct me if I'm wrong) that Bolivians are:

(1) a bit taller for their length
(2) have less color, particularly
- less iridescent scales
- less black spotting
- lacking the red marks on their eyes


?

Bolivian Rams (Mikrogeophagus Altispinosa) try looking up the scientific name and the GBR (Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi)

body shape is different the Bolivian more broad in the shoulder. and longer. the Adult Bolivian Ram is visibly larger than the Blue ram.
the color of the Blue ram is usally more striking. altho there could be an arguement that the bolivain is more colorful than the Gold colormorph of the blue ram.
in general the bolivian is hardier (more tolerant)
both are pugnacious.
I like both.. but cannot find Bolivian rams in my area
