Do you mean Bolivian Ram? Also known as Butterfly, Royal and Red Rams? Just checking as I 'think' that's what you meant but just wanted to clarify.
I'm in the same boat trying to find and adult female nearby

Yes Bolivian Rams. I had a pair when I lived in Australia and they called them Bolivian Rainbows over there. I have seen them in Leeds shops before but always very young.

How long you been looking?

Sorry to hijack topic, but im just wondering why there is a high demand of female Bolivian Rams?

A couple of months, I found a fish shop down south that delivers proven breeding females but I didn't fancy the £8 postage for a single fish only valued at £3-4 *Shrug*

And youngfisher, I guess it must be something to do with the male : female ratio of the species...maybe more males develop/survive than females?
