Just throwing it out there, would someone with any experience/knowledge of Bolivian rams PLEASE do a profile for them?

Thank you so much! That's the kind of stuff I wanted to hear, my mum brought me one just because she saw them and thought they were beautiful but he was very shy and had almost no colour to him at all (my mum chose him because she thought his colours where really nice in the shop) so I left him for a week or so to colour up but didn't so I got another to try and cheer him up a bit and it worked they are both beautiful colours now, the only concern I had was that they never go near the top of the tank even at feeding time and I read a few times online that they are 'bottom middle and top' so was worried whether there was anything up them...
Mine are always curious as well when I come to the tank, I think there wonderful fish to keep
Reygan2 said:I have never seen mine go to the top for food. That is why I like sinking pellets. Usually some flakes will sink and make it past the the angels and neons and he gets a bite or two. Frozen bloodworms and shrimp sink too. I advise against any freeze dried foods. Congrats on your new ram! Do you have 2 males or one of each?
Fish-n-beer-guy said:Mine basically do the same. I practically have to drop the food on their heads to get them to eat. Are there any other fish in the tank?
Laser said:Mine go to the top for food and I feed them 3 times a day. I feed them sinking pellets too but they go up after them before they can sink. Mine had almost no color when I brought them home. 3 have colored up nicely and 1 still has just a little color but he/she is just as healthy as the rest as far as I can tell. I love these fish and I'm glad I got them.

Just chasing, not any nipping. I feed mine sinking shrimp pellets. It's true, not as colorful as other fish but I don't mind. Full of personality.
absolutangel04 said:Yeah, I have had my current br boy for over a year and he had never gone to the top for food. I think some of that depends on the tank size and tankmates though. My boy is not exceptionally colored, but he just came from a chain store, so I doubt there was such thought put into his breeding. The girls are pretty feisty, but my boys have always gotten along really well.
