Re: Bolivian Rams

["Raymond Wong" <myapisto@hotmail.com>]

Hello michael and rich,

thanks for the suggestions, i do notice one or 2 of them i kinda feel that
they are males from their size difference, hmm cadual extensions,, i'll take
a look and see if i can tell the difference, I have the Aqualog SA II i
believe and if i remember last time i looked at it there are specific
pictures of a male and a female, but i couldn't really tell the difference,
I'll pull out the book again just to take a look to see if i can tell in the
pictures, the reason I'm asking about the sex is I would like to take a pair
ut of my community tank for breeding but I don't want to place 2 males into
a 25 gallon and then find out then i come home from school and work that
one's dead = (

thank-you for the suggestions, any more would be apperciated but I'll
definitely look at these 2 comments
