    Default My Bolivian rams

    Hi, I am pretty new to this forum so thought I might introduce myself by posting pics of my tank.

    Here are some pics that I've taken of my tank recently of the Bolivian Rams that I got 3 months ago from PJ pets. They live in my 33 gallon planted tank with 6 other angels (juveniles mostly), 4 otocinclus catfish, and 1 clown pleco. Weekly 30-40% water change to keep water pristine. Will maybe post up pics of my angels and otos in the future.

    Here is what they looked like when I first got them from PJ Pets 3 months ago

    and this is what they look like with direct comparison before I show some more pics of each of the fish


    Ram #1 (left most in comparison pic)



    Ram #2 (in centre)



    Ram #3 (right most)




    and here are two pics of my tank (my 33 gal is a bit overstocked with angels for now... but will have arrangement for them once they pair up. Will be ok for now since most of them are still juveniles)



    Comments and critiques are always welcomed =)

    Very nice pics indeed. Your Bolivian rams look fat and happy. I also like the simplicity of the scape with the Vallisneria/Sagittaria as the background. These little guys should probably breed for you.

    Best regards,

    Wow those are some really nicely colored rams!
    In case you are planning on breeding them, I could be wrong but it appears you have 3 male rams based on how their tube tapers back in the pictures... Have you managed to sex them?

    Here is a guide to "assist" in sexing them.

    Default Thanks everyone

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments!

    And regarding to CGY_Betta_Guy comment on their sexes. I've had a hard time sexing them when they were still young, but from their behaviors, and physical features, it does appear that the three of them are all males haha... what luck eh? buy 3 fish and all of them are males
