How do I know she is ready? The time I took them from the store they 
really looked different - dull colors and almost no difference between 
male and female. You should look at them now! Will they be even better?
They have some neons and pristellas as dithers, and lonely male blue ram 
(who is chased by both of them, but this is only untill I clean up my other 
tank!). Will she show she is ready if she is sitting alone?
