Bolivian Ram

anyone got a good picture of these on the web, maybe a male/female too,
petsmart has a tank with 3 tags, one says bolivian ram and I think theres 1
type of fish in there, was thinking I'd like to pick up a couple but want to
make sure of what they've got in there, Im sure no one there could tell me.

I could email you a pic of mine if you like.

"Yeah.. it was in Buffy's underwear drawer. She has nice things."
"Show me."
"Well, I didnt take 'em but there were thongs and regular underpants..."

it's all in the curvature of the front of the dorsal fin. an angular, square
curve indicates a male, and a round curve a female. let me tell you though,
it's bloody hard to tell the difference, I can hardly see it myself, but
apparantly this is the done way.

I'll see what I can do, I think I've read like 3 different ways to do it,
some list different shades of red bellies, different spots on the side.
