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.

Thanks y'all. He's amamzing to look at and watch. 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.

Melissa, he is gorgeous!

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*

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!!!

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.

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.
