[link=Bolivian Ram link]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/bolivian.xml" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link]
[link=Blue Ram link]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/blueram.xml" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link]

These are both located on this site. some pics and the specie names along with some info. Bolivian rams are hardier but the Blue rams are more colorful.

I have 2 male bolivian rams - they are lots of fun to watch!
The males will joust and show off to each other, and dig pits to show how talented they are. A very peaceful fish, very hardy. Make sure to feed a sinking food and be sure to include the algae wafers every few days! A great fish, they get around 3 inches long minus the fins. Very beautiful.
The blue rams are also gorgeous, a little more sensitive, and behave similarly to bolivian rams.
Heres a pic of my adult male ram:

If you get German Blue Rams, I highly suggest getting them directly from a known breeder because many of the ones you get out of a LFS are weaker and less colorful. I am a very anal fishkeeper failed to keep 4 ok looking rams alive. Only ever had 5 fish die out of the 60-70 I've kept over the last year. 4 were rams.
