Fwd: Re: blue ram varieties

[Ken Laidlaw <K.Laidlaw@roe.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I'd say the specks on the black body spot is the most 
obvious difference also.  On each side of the spot are a 
vertical gold band which the males do not have.  

Hope you have success, I've spawned Rams a few times but 
they have always eaten the eggs.  They seem to have a very 
short life as well, or perhaps I just cannot look after 
them properly. 

Ken.
