RAMS - Show me yours I'll show you mine

@ Jay973: I thought I couldn't find Bolivians either until I realized they were calling them Ruby Clowns. They still get labeled as Apistos around here too. Which I believe is something that was changed some 10 years ago?

I frequently find them but rarely as colorful as Lab's.

Does anyone keep "golden" rams? I'm thinking about getting a few to keep in an empty 20 long I've got...are they really harder to keep than bolivians?

Ramirez Gold, Blue, or electric blue all are list with the same water conditions from what I recall. I don't know if the Bolivians (crown Ruby) are the same I thought they were more tolerable than their smaller cousins.

LAB: Absolutely awesome Bolivian Rams I've yet to find stock in our LFS anywhere that are this colorful or else I'd be tempted to snatch them up.

Thanks Jay! I really love them. My water here is WAY too hard for GBR, I haven't even attempted it otherwise I'd have both species. The bolivians weren't this colorful in the store, they really colored up nicely when I got them home. I think they may actually be wild caught as the store I got them from has started advertising their bolivians as wc (hadn't been advertising them as that when I bought them). Maybe that's why they have nice colors.
 
Here are pix I just posted in my thread.

Ah, I get the names confused (I've never kept either before). Nice pics everyone!

This is the same fish at the one in the last pic...when it was a juvie. Awsome ram ! It's parents were purchased at the local PetCo....if you're patient and picky you can find some nice fish at some of those boxmart stores pet stores.
