Bolivian Rams

[mystus]

Can i keep a pair in a 10 gallon tank with 2 platys?

How can you tell females form males? the longer fins are the males?

Males tend to have more colours on the outer-edges of their caudal and the posterior of the dorsal thin. If you want to identify a good male and female pair you should be looking at the older Bolivian Rams as the younger ones show no sexual dysmorphism.

You should get a much larger tank for the Bolivian Rams as they need lot's of room in order for you to be able to avoid ammonia build-ups and stress.
