I am actually thinking with this batch I have right now I am pretty female heavy.. there are 3 obvious males but I think there are 5 obvious females so unless the 2 late bloomers happen to be boys.. I will have some girly oddballs haha we'll see what the new shipment brings tomorrow! =)

Got the new rams today! YAY! Pokey post office haha
They are acclimating right now.. on looking at them through the bags I think I ended up with 5 males and 2 females (they sent an extra!) which is great because I actually think I had more females in the other batch!
I won't know for a cpl hours how they compare in size to mine to know when they'd be ready for pairing up and all that but MAN do they have some long beautiful fins! I can't wait for them to get comfy and I can show you guys some more pics! =) I will keep all of you posted that are interested in getting a pair when they are ready =)

I have to tell you.. this is so much fun! watching these guys "flirt" and whatnot haha I just totally blew a good part of my evening with my face plastered to the glass haha
I am trying to figure out the best way to do this, so suggestions are welcome..
My tank is heavily planted.. and there is tons of woodwork.. and the wood is all ziptied together.. i am not sure how to even catch the pair once they've decided on each other.. there are 2 in there right now that did a little dance spinning circles and now they just stay right next to each other.. they are definitely boy and girl, but what's the best way to get them out without separating them? haha
I have a 29g in the garage that might be best to set up barebottom with no plants for this time in their life.. I'm just not sure if that's a good idea either. Well anyway, any help you guys can offer would be appreciated =) thanks!
And for those of you that are interested in a pair.. looks like it might be happening sooner than I thought.. keep your fingers crossed! =)

Well, I feel comfortable in saying that I definitely have 2 pairs of rams at this point, I did move all but 1 pair into a 29g barebottom with a cpl pieces of driftwood and a few potted plants so I shouldn't have any troubles catching them haha anyway, back to the fish
These 2 pairs in particular have set up on opposite sides of the tank and chase anything that gets close.. it's great, they will even chase 2 different fish and then race back to their corner and "fan" each other it's like a "high five" in the fish world to me haha
My thoughts in the beginning would be that I would have all these pairs just timed perfectly and I could box 'em up and ship them out on the same day.. well that's not happening and as it stands right now, these 4 got this tank on lock down so I think I need to get them into new homes as they pair up.. I've already pm'd the first 2 folks that sent me a pm so hopefully they will reply very soon so I can either ship out.. or move on to the next person in line =)
I have ordered a male electric blue ram and so I decided to only keep one pair of the long fins.. boy was that a big decision haha anyway, that leaves 7 pairs up.. to the best of my sexing ability I think I have an even amount of males and females.. we'll see tho =)

temptress if you end up getting more females then males and are looking to get sell just a female let me know. I am looking for just a female as you saw my other thread. I have someone who will take one of my males if I can't find a trade.
I will keep you in mind for sure =) Keep in mind these are the long fin variety I am not sure that you would want to breed them with your regular? I would maybe suggest selling your 2 males and just getting a pair.. but if I have a female left I would be happy to sell you one, if that's what you wanted to do =)
Just wanted to bump this up real quick.. I have 1 pair that I'd like to ship out today with this other package and the "next" 3 people on the list haven't replied yet and I don't dare "offer" any more than 3 guaranteed pairs right now so I'm just gonna do this to be fair
First pm and payment (paypal) in the next hour will get this pair shipped today.. any other orders I won't feel comfortable shipping out until monday of next week.. unless they lived close enough to guarantee it would make it before the weekend =)
That's $20 + $15 priority shipping guess I should mention that =)
