My male German ram died today, he had swim bladder disease. Now I just have a lone female. Does anyone know where I could buy just one male ram?

FishGirl,

You will have to keep your eye out at your LFS. I think it would be too expensive to order just one fish from an online supplier like Foster & Smith. You could see if there is a local hobbyist chapter for freshwater fish and ask them if any members breed rams.

Gold rams are a color variant of blue rams. They will interbreed.

Yup, your fish store will be the best choice. When you go to pick out a fish, remember this: Male rams are the ones with the elongated second and third dorsal rays, while females lack this trait.

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
