Hey there. They look like Bolivian Rams to me but it might be the shot? they might be germans but from my knowledge germans tend to be very colourful. yea the one on the left is a male and the female is on the right. males end to be bigger nd more colourful whilst the female is smaller and has a pink stomach.

if any of them is a femal it would be the back fish but as i cant see the red belly or the fins then you cant really tell

well, they both have red tipped fins, but only the one i think is a male has a black spot on the side and his markings seem to stand out more. thanks for the advice!

I'm also positive those are bolivian rams. Much more hardy than the germans, but a little less colorful.

After further research, I see the guy at my lfs was wrong. Wow what a difference in color the German is than the Bolivian.

Wow, those last two pictures you posted of the Bolivian vs. Blue ram are really ugly fish
EDIT: And I have both kinds, so I don't just dislike Rams...
good ole Google image search!! Yeah, the Bolivian Ram looks a little on the sick side.
