ram cichlid

I got 3 Bolivian rams a couple days ago, and they settled in decently, although it’s rather difficult to sex them. One particular ram looks to be the dominant one in the tank, and chases both of the others out of its territory. Tonight, however, I noticed it had gotten really dark. It darkened...

My first cichlid, I adore him! :flowers:

About a month ago, I bought three female german blue rams and one male german blue ram. They were just random fish from my LFS, ie they weren't sold a breeding pair.   Recently one of the females started showing her colors and I noticed her and the male seemed to stick close together. Her belly...

  I have four (what I THOUGHT were male) ram cichlids in a tank, along with a neon tetra and a plecostomus. There's nothing else in the tank except snails (and I KNOW what snail eggs look like). I just saw today that the back of my small piece of driftwood is covered in eggs! I thought ram...
