Spoolin Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hello all- Sorry if I posted in the wrong place, but could someone help me confirm if I have a male or female Golden Ram? Can provide more pictures if necessary! These two been pecking at the rock for weeks, but no eggs yet unfortunately. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I think the golden ram is a male. If you can shoot and upload a video, sometimes that helps clarify. I cannot tell about the normal-colored GBR, but I’m leaning towards male also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) I’m doing to double-down on my “two males” assessment. Front dorsal rays are too long for female. No darker pink cast to abdomen. Ventrals are long. Head is cast orange on both. Here’s some of mine, L-R: F / M / F Edited May 15, 2022 by Fish Folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoolin Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Beautiful GBR’s! Is it possible that 2 males could of paired with each other? I had 2 other normal GBR’s in the tank, 1 male and 1 female, but after introducing this Golden Ram, they ended up killing the other 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I guess anything is possible. I had two females that would both lay eggs and guard them until they would fungus up. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihshho Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The golden is definitely a male per the ray extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the entire animal kingdom has representatives from the LGBTQ community, it just doesn't get talked about in high school biology classes. Check out Isabella Rossellini's videos on animal sex (versus reproduction). Just finish your coffee first, or you'll spew on your phone. They are hysterical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
