- I modified the drawing to show the second spine
- Also on both sexes the first 5 spines are blackish, and I think on the
- males darker.
-
- Also the male is (should be) more brightly colored and the female looks a
- little chunkier.
-
- I believe these are "Blue Rams" or Apistogrammas (sp?) also sometimes
- referred to as "Rameriz Dwarf Cichild.
-
- I have 4 and I thin I have 2 males and 2 two females. Can't be 100% sure
- but I'm fairly sure at least 1 is female.
-
- Hope this helps
