What a manly man of a fish | |
crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005 | I wanted to post a pic of my hunky stud male ram. I finally managed a good pic. He's a daddy two times over and I hope the fry favor him, he's got long fins. "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |

His wife is just as pretty, but she doesn't have the long fins. I scored this pair on Aquabid. Their babies are starting to get big. "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |

I'm gonna have to make room in my future 38g for a pair of GBRs I believe. They are too pretty not to have. Maybe by the time I'm ready for fish (will be awhile), you will still have babies left to sell...*hint* *hint* |

crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005 | Sure, I'd love to sell you some. These are very hardy indeed. I have this pair spawning regularly in water with a hardness of 300 ppm!!! "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |

mattmccready Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Nov-2006 | I love those Rams but cant keep them for some reason! I have had 3 pairs and they've all died in the first couple of weeks. Everything else is ok, just not them. |

crazyred Fish Addict LAZY and I don't care :D Posts: 575 Kudos: 360 Votes: 293 Registered: 26-Aug-2005 | IMO, it's because the rams available for purchase at most LFS's are bred in Asia and are very weak from poor breeding practices and hormone juicing. I bought 3 from my LFS and they were all dead in a couple of weeks. These that I have are from a private breeder, such as myself now, on Aquabid. If you ask me, it makes ALL the difference in the world. "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." |
