I've got a great pair of German rams, but no camera.
 They are great fish. I'm hoping mine will spawn once they mature a bit more.

Also if a pair mate up they will be aggressive to anything that comes into their brooding area, but that's just like almost all other cichlids. |

Not really but I do know the local store owner said she has a hard time finding any that can survive very long in the water conditions in our city. She said if I could breed them she would gladly buy them off me because local breeders have fish that do better in local water conditions.

Bolivians are hardier then the blues thats for sure but blues arnt made out of glass either. There is alot of hyp surround blues and in my opinion its mostly to keep new keepers from being disapointed. They wont handle newb mistakes like ammonia and nitrite spikes. This is prolly why they are marked as fragil im not sure though. i almost didnt get them at all because of all the beware signs but i finially said heck with it and they been more then happy ever since lol.
in short if you have a aged tank and know how to prevent over feeding and how to spot issues i dont see a problem with them at all. i also keep them in 7.6ph which by their coloring as you can see in the pic they dont seem to mind at all lol. If you know what cyclign is then i say get the german blue rams. if you got the room get both. most agression ive seen out of them is a 12 inch chase and then they get back together shortly after lol. |

My blues have been really easy to take care of. I've had no problems at all. If you have really high pH that might be an issue though.
