I believe I had a similar post when I first picked up my rams, however one died and the other survived a bout of camallanus worms. Now that the survivor is healthy I want to make sure that it is a female, which I still think it is I picked up a new one from the store today who was just gorgeous and I believe is a male. He's a bit younger and the older one is chasing him around a lot, I assume establishing territory, though she thinks the whole tank is hers. I hope they calm down and pair up, or at least live in harmony. Hopefully you all can confirm the sex though.

Thoughts on sexes though? This is the one I think is a female.

And here are two shots of what I believe is a male, the new one. The second photo I posted as it shows the vent area a bit and I think I can see the male breeding tube. It's definitely younger so it's not as visible though.

Awesome. Now to just hope they start to get along. I'm sure things will calm down in a couple of days.
