I finally got my pair of rams today that I ordered at my local fish shop.
They were supposed to be blue, but they are gold so never mind lol. There were 2 pairs in the tank,
this 'pair' had the most colourful male. Although Im not convinced it is a m/f pair!
Here is the apparent female -
And the male -
Both of them, not the best of pics but showing how pale the 'female' can go. Other times she can be identical colouring to the male!
What I have noticed is the 'female' is smaller, and slightly paler colouration to the male. The male also has the 2 long rays on the dorsal fin. They sometimes swim together, but I have noticed the male sometimes chases the female but doesnt nip or anything. They also seem to 'flare' at eachother when they first see eachother in the tank.
Is it a pair or not?!
Thanks!
