Hi Barry,
I just saw your post. Did anyone reply you?
Your Blue Ram should be a female. A female Blue Ram has pinkish belly when she is ready to spawn.
The easiest way to differentiate the male and the female is by looking at their belly.
The female will have pink belly.
But if the rams are too young, then it'll be difficult to tell.

Hi all,

The easiest way to differentiate the male and the female is by looking at their belly. The female will have pink belly.

I usually go by the presence or absence of <"blue scales in the black humeral spot">. If the fish has blue "spangles" within the body of the spot it is female, if they are absent, or they are just around the edge of the spot it is a male.
