    Pls help my other half was sold a "pair" of Bolivian Rams, but the more research I do the more I suspect we have been sold German blue Rams. The pair started off great but a few months down the line we are left with one. The larger one bullied the smaller one so much he died last week. I wanted to get another mate/s but I'm unsure of the what we actually have??
    Here are some pictures.

    So I've been to the fish store and had a good look at there Rams and the only difference my Ram has different from the other males there is his tail fin isn't elongated?? Do males always have a elongated tail fins?
