How many Bolivians

Hey all,

Quick question for you cichlid keepers. I have wanted some quality german blue rams for quite some time (who doesn't?) and have had no luck. I do not want wild caught specimens and those are the only healthy ones I've seen on aquabid and the sorts.

My LFS got a shipment in a week or so ago of some nice sized Bolivian Rams. The owner, which is very knowledgeable (actually tells people to cycle first and doesn't stock ANY paper test kits), said he saw pictures of the group he ordered from and they all had really nice color. He thinks they are still adjusting to their new home but they have gained a lot of color just over the past week he has had them. He has been feeding them NLS products and Hikari frozen foods.

My question is, how many should I get? I know more females than males if possible. I want to split them between my 30g long and my 10g. What I was thinking is, if I get a pair out of the group I'll move them to my 10g. Is that too small for a pair? I have been looking for a 30g high to replace the 10g for quite some time. My current stock in both tanks can be found by clicking the My tank under my avatar.

Also I think I found a way to id the females and males from just looking (Sexing Bolivian Rams). I read up on them last night and am planning on stopping by again after work today.
Thanks for any help guys.
