Longfin German Blue Rams

[D01]

Hello all,

I purchased these Longfin German Blue Rams a couple of weeks ago and asked for a pair, but I'm not actually sure if one of them is a female.
Please find images attached and let me know your thoughts

Many thanks

You can basically only sex this breed by behaviour. Fins and colouration have been bred to a state where they camouflage the usual attributes.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply
What behaviours should I be looking out for?

The orange belly of the first might be a female but it is hard to tell if it is just a colour varation or orange tummy.

The 2nd one is a totally different morph that is mostly electric blue - If the fishes pair up and you see two different type of breeding tubes you have a pair otherwise you don't.

I wouldn't breed them anyway given their oddness but that is just me.
