So I picked up a pair of blue balloon rams for my 46 gallon planted tank. They will be with cardinal tetra and black neon tetra eventually, but are currently by themselves.
I am *pretty* sure they are both males, but its really hard to tell because they are still pretty skitish, so if I get too close to the tank, they hide ( though they are starting to come out when I feed them.) and they are still pretty young.
Anyways... Here is the best set of photos I could manage for the time being... The pics dont do them justice; their colors are beautiful. The second one has a beautiful blue/purple sheen across his body that is so much brighter than the first fish. The first fish has so much more orange and red, plus the markings on his face are really deep blue.
