Bolivian all the way, gbrs are just far too hard to keep.

Bolivian get a lot bigger and have a different body shape. Also people say Bolivians are hardier. Personally they seemed the same. But my Gbr are way more aggressive. Bolivian rams and German blue rams are not the same fish like German blue rams and electric blue ram or gold rams. Those are all colour variants of the Gbr where the Bolivian is not
In my experience GBR's will gang up and chase others out of hiding spots even if it isn't their territory, and if there's an odd GBR (say you have a m/f pair and you have one lone one) the pair will eventually kill the loner. Bolivians are much calmer and will watch you/challenge you from inside of the tank rather than harass other fish.For those that have had both, what are the personality differences between the two?

Aqadvisor said that the BR may get too aggressive for the rummies. Is this correct?
I've had a female Bolivian ram and a male, the male was super aggressive. I guess it's just their own personalities.
