    @DewaldC - Isn't this a Bolivian Gold Ram? I don't know how you tell male and female in the BGR's. In GBR's the female has blue spots on her black side patch and a pink underbelly and the male has a spikier dorsal fin (first part of dorsal closest to the head is black and spiky)

    @Ryno - ok, now you've confused me. These are all Ramirezi but @DewaldC 's looks like a gold ram and mine look like blue rams.

    Google bolivian ram. Its not close to what you have. GBR is the common name given to ramirezi. Google ramirezi. And you wil see what i meen. You get diferent ramirezis, the normal one(blue) the golden one. And the electric blue one. Ramirezi is the species. Or what ever you call it. Im just used fto call them on their original name. Ramirezi, instead of GBR......
