    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.

    I suspected it was, I was unsure as I have been told the methods I've used are not 100% and venting is the only sure way but I struggle to see ANY vent, think it could be due to him still been young??

    I would love him to be part of a pair, would you advise getting just the one female or two and letting him pick?
