I was sold two "Bolivian Rams" from a popular chain store, one last week and one about 12 hours ago. I was surprised to when my first Bolivian ram starting showing very vibrant colors, but I didn't really think too much of it at the time. However when I look at me new ram, who is still most likely washed-out from stress, there is no comparison. I am hoping someone here can confirm what I already am fairly certain of, that I got a Bolivian Ram today, and something else, possibly a GBR?, a week ago. I have included pictures of each of them separately and then one together, my fish were very photogenic today.

First one is a female GBR, second one is a bolivian. A very easy way to tell them apart when stressed and washed out at the store are the eyes of GBR are red.
