GurjitD Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hi all! Got myself a German blue ram from aquarium coop ~2 weeks ago. I asked for a female as I already had a male GBR in the tank. Over the last few days it’s colored up a lot, and am not so sure if it’s a female. I’ve tried looking up differences between male and female GBRs but couldn’t find anything conclusive. Can someone help me figure this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prochaska Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) That blue speckling in the black dot is questionable I would guess a male, does the stomach turn pink/rosy? If so then that’s a female, mine gets really pink when feeding frozen food. Edited January 1, 2022 by Prochaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I would tend to say male, but the surefire way to tell is the pink belly the female gets from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GurjitD Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 @Prochaska @Huck Thanks for the replies! I haven’t seen any sign of a pink belly yet, but I’ll be on the lookout during the next feeding. Not sure if it means anything but my male GBR gets along with the other one pretty well, I find them together more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GurjitD Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 @Prochaska @Huck 3 weeks later, this is what my ram looks like! From my research it looks like it’s now exhibiting signs of being a female. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
