This video shows how to tell the difference between male and female blue rams by identifying the following ways to identify male from female - very important if you want to pick a pair and the shop assistant has no idea.....
1 - Body size.
Adult males are much larger than adult females
2 - Body shape.
Females are more rounded with generally 'fuller' belly. The head shape on good quality females will be more pointed than males (which is more rounded / 'strong' looking head)
3 - Pectoral fin length.
The males will have long, extended pectoral fins when mature - much longer than the females.
4 - Dorsal fin shape.
The mature males will have an extended 2nd and 3rd ray (toward front of fin) on their dorsal fins - much more extended than females.
5 - Body black spot.
With males, the large black body spot underneath the dorsal will be black with no reflective scales in it. Females will have reflective scales inside the black spot.
6 - Pink belly (female).
When breeding, females will get a large pink / purple patch on their belly (underneath black body spot), males will not develop this colouration.
