Hey there just trying to find out what gender my German blue ram is, I’ve tried comparing my fish to photos online but I just can’t tell weather it’s a male or female.
Thank you

Your fish, to me, appears to be a merry mix of domestic strains. It has somewhat longer fins than the typical Ram, possibly a mix of the long-fin "butterfly" strain mixed with standard size. It also appears to be a mix of 2 or more domestic color strains To me it appears to be a mix of domestic (German) blue and neon. Even the body is deeper than the typical Ram. Maybe it has some 'baloon' strain, too? I'm always amazed at the different strain breeders have produced from wild Rams.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
