ooh. 1 more thing. After your tank has matured a while id suggest a pair of bolivian rams. I dont even know what type of fish you are getting or like but they are a personal favourite of mine and i just thought id mention them

hey mickspark81, any chance of you looking whether I have male and female rams? http/s142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/mbs...=fishystars.flv

first one in video is male. The other I'm 75% sure is female as the vent doesn't seem to taper like the male's. When they first went in the tank they did some mouth grappling (which I have since read is a sign of courtship with Cichlids). I'm guessing the female won because she dominates the male in the tank territory wise. I have added a terracotta saucer and cleared some room and taken temp upto 28C..

Looks like a male and female to me but they arnt very old yet and are sometimes difficult to sex. Tbh tho. They look pretty much identicle to the pair i have who just so you know display the same behaviour traits as you mentioned

Once they get to around 8 - 10 months old they should be sexually mature and hopefully they will breed.

You tend to know a pair of rams as most of the time they swim around together but say at feeding time one dominates the other. Really great to watch and i wish you all the luck

Thanks Mick!!! I'll keep an eye on them. How old are yours now? Out of interest do you have any angels with them or know if they'd live together ok?
