cirulis Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi, Picked these little fellas up today. Beauties arn't they : . I couldn't be happier with the price and quality of them. Can anyone confirm that they are male and female? Ones got the red belly...female i suspect. :thumbsup cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi Brett, They certainly look like a pair to me (going by colour, size and the second dorsal ray on the male being longer than the first). Very nice too! merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoges Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yep agree with Merjo!!! The female is definately the back one in the 2nd picture! Slightly off topic, I would be interested to hear how they are colourwise in a couple of weeks. There have been a lot of fish going around at the moment, labled 'german blues' that have faded significantly after a couple off weeks away from the fish shops Anyways best of luck with yours!

cirulis Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Thanks for the comments So far there colour has only got better since coming from the shop. I will take a pic in a couple of weeks and see though. They were bred in Melbourne from german parents so they are not imports. cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett4Perth Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Nice fish, don't these guys just shine when you photograph them. Pity the blue spangles are not quite as obvious when they are swimming in the tank. I would agree they look like a pair. The pair I got 6 months back never faded. In fact they look better than ever.

cirulis Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yeah i know what you mean about the spangles. You can see the blue at the right angle though. THis is a pic with no flash: cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 like your pipe cave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Great photos and I also like your pipe cave did you make it yourself if so how I think that I would like to see a few of them in my tanks cheers Rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirulis Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Yeah i made the cave. Its just gravel stuck to silicon. I bought the silicon from kmart...make sure it says aquarium safe on the tube though. When you stick the gravel to the pipe, make sure its dry and put lots of silicon on ( i tried to do it with just a thin coating of silicon but it didn't work). Also do it in sections so the silicon doesn't set before you finish it. cheers Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Morelia Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I made one of those pipes ages ago ! Identical !! I've never seen anyone else with one I forgot mine was in the tank when i treated for something one time though, and the silicone turned bue kinda spoiled the effect. They are gorgeous Rams BTW !
