Re: basic care of Papiliochromis Ramerizi

[Steve Wilson <ace1493@yahoo.com>]

I've seen the Bolivian Rams (I don't know there corect
name), and they were much larger then the
papiliochromis ramirezi that i have observed.  Do the
same rules for sexing bolivians apply to
papiliochromis ramirezi?


Thanks for your patience,
Steve
