Here's a pic of mom with kids and one of dad with kids. The fry are no longer swarming around the parents. They're all over the tank and when I tried to take a full tank shot the camera didn't know what to focus on.

Those are sweet! I've wanted to try rams. Now that work is slowing down, maybe I can make room for another tank.
To anyone ordering, I suggest you not even consider Priority mail. One of my last packages took 6 weeks. Express can almost be a deal breaker, but it's worth the extra money for the guarantee and support from the post office if a package does get lost.
I checked Express shipping to both IL and DE. To both places Express shipping was $90! I simply cannot ask people to pay more for shipping than the cost of a pair of fish. For that reason I've decided to offer live arrival on regular Priority. I know I'll end up taking some hits with late shipments and DOA's but when the cost is $15 for Priority vs $70 to $90 for Express I don't think I have a choice except for orders of 4 or more pairs.

Here are two of Liz's Dutch Blue Rams in their new home. The fish are a very nice addition for those of us who like rams, they arrived very healthy and active. They are in a planted tank by themselves except for some guppies and fry which were added to cycle the tank. There is a smooth rock in the front of the tank, I hope that they get the hint. :D Thanks Liz!
I'm glad to hear your happy with them David. BTW, what kind of lighting do you have them under. I use the Finnex Vivid lights. They bring out much more sparkly color than other lights I've used. I buy them from Miranda at Chicago Discus. They really make a big difference.
Here are a couple of pics I took of their siblings. See the difference?
Oops, sorry I should have let them color up a bit from their transport. They are very healthy and lively though!
The colors are more vivid and more blue today.
Good!
