Hi,
Have had my german blue rams for 4 days now. When I first got them, one was much larger than the other, and was quite faded (was shimmering blue, but black spots and line over eye wasn't very dark) thats how I could tell them apart. This morning I got up to feed them and they were both fighting! This went on for about 15 minutes.
The weird part is, the larger faded one was now way brighter and darker than the smaller one, and the smaller one was faded and grey!
What is going on? Its almost as if the one that is being dominated at the time fades while the other one gets darker.
But I have read that the faded colours mean they are sick?
And is it normal for them to fight so much? Worried I'm going to end up with a murdered fish!!
P.s, not sure on the sex. Can't see pink bellies on either. The small one had darker dorsal fin and black spot, but now its the other way around!!
Please help,
Thanks,
Rose
