I went to the LFS yesterday, hoping that they have some Blue Rams in stock. Lucky me... I found a whole new batch that arrived few days ago. I looked at most of them and had hard time determining which is male and which is female... I asked the owner and he tells me that 99% of them are male since females don't have a very nice color so most customers simply don't buy females!
Yuck. So I looked again at each one and chose the largest and the most colorful one (which I hope is a male) and chose one of the smallest and the lest colorful one (where there is a 1% chance that it is a female... ). I bought two since they had the special of 2 for 1...
Both are under 2 inches, and looked still young.
Once arrived to my tank, the larger one chases around the little one although not all the time. During feeding time, this behaviour repeats.
Here's the picture of the larger one:
And here's the picture of the small one:
And here's both together:
So, did I get lucky and found a female one or did I end up with the smallest and the ugliest male in the tank?
