Re: Races of Rams?

["Thomas Wilkinson" <ttwilki@mindspring.com>]

I have collected wild Rams from two different sites.  One site south of the
Orinoco was from a stream.  The Rams here were large and very brightly
colored.  The spikes on the dorsal were long and extended.  The other site
was north of the Orinoco and was a man-made "ditch".  It was shallow and not
connected to any other water.  The Rams here, and there were lots of them,
were small and not as brightly colored with short extensions on the dorsal.
I think the differences were probably due to environment rather than "race".
