    I wouldn't try and cross breed Bolivian rams with German Blues, mainly because I would be unsure if they could even??

    I haven't seen any Bolivian Rams for quite some time!! There was a period where they were available all over, but then they just dissapeared!!

    Not sure I'd even put the Blues in with Bolivians either?? Aggresion could be an issue, and one of the Rams could end up dead!!

    Maybe keep an eye out in the LFS's, or put a wanted post up in the classifieds thread?? Otherwise, get rid of your Ram and get a pair from Veegal and Zafgak??

    Hope that helps, but probably not!!
    Regards
    G!

    They do very well and there is not a single malawi that dominates them there will swim away if need be but they are right back where they started...

    nice thing is they swim in the middle of the tank most of the time so they are always the "center of attention!" lol

    Thorichthys Ellioti . I picked up 5 of these from Dolphin today, they are currently in my quarantine tank. The picture really doesn't do these guys justice
