Hello, I recently got a bolivian Ram but I don't know the gender and I want to get a mate. How can you tell gender?
WhiteDevil said:Yes, is she eating?
got a pic of the tank, might not be to her liking and those of us who have had them for years can give some insight.
She should have some color and not just greyish silver. What else is in the tank with her? Males wash out too, the males fins are larger then the females and the males tails have a very distinct set of trailers that are usually red outlined on the tips(all their fins but their gill fins.(I call em arms)
This is a young male and an adult male
young male(see the red in the tips of the fins)

Is that Mondo Grass in your tank?
Is that to me?
It's Pygmy Chain Sword.

Elpez said:Yes it was Jon, I am still playing with this site. For some reason two messesges came out.
I asked because I recently got something that looks just like it at Petsmart but it was labeled as mondo grass. When reserching I found out that this grass does not well under water.
Yours looks great.
When I went back to Petsmart, I was told that all their plants are fully aquatic. Not the case at Petco I hear.
Elpez said:Thanks Jon!
So should I expect him to get some color back? or that's not going to change?
