If your worried about sensitivity try Bolivian rams like me, that is until your comfortable enough to go to GBR'S. Your call, but both are beautiful fish

My LFS carries GBRs, not Bolivians. They are 7 bucks a piece, but I have some gift cards, so no worries there.

Bolivians are a little more tolerable to water conditions so most fish hobbyists tend to go with them rather than GBR'S who are super sensitive. Best analogy I can think of is that's your tank is the kryptonite to their superman

At first i had considered Bolivian's also. I still would like to go there some day but I'm glad I've got what i have now. All 3 of my pairs spawn regularly tho none of them have reared the fry on their own so i intervene latley. All 6 are still young and I'm hoping in the future that will change.

Wow, thats awesome! Wish i had been able to get more than three when I got mine. They were hard to find, anyway, now its too late to introduce more imo so mine dont spawn but they're my faves out of all my tanks, definitely go GBR or EBR.

Yep, early July and I will pick up a male and a female GBR. With any luck, they won't breed!

Ok, one more question ya'll. What's the best food for 'em? I can get freeze-dried anything, and I can get frozen bloodworms or frozen brine shrimp. I can get just about any flake food you can imagine. (I love Petsmart!)
