The gold color morph is a variation introduced through captive breeding; blues and golds will breed together.
Rams are one of the few dwarf species that form mating pairs. I always buy six fish and allow them to pair off naturally. This helps in keeping overzealous males from injuring, and possibly even killing, females. After a pair is formed, remove the others to a separate tank or return them to the fish shop.
