Very nice. Those guys are dark! They look big enough to breed. Are they def male & female? How long have you had them? Tank looks mint!
Here is a video of my dark rams from coralbandit. They are doing really well, but no signs of breeding activity as of yet. I think they are still juveniles.
Sorry for all the bubbles and scratches on tank that lower visibility. Its an old tank--

Thank you!
I assumed they were a pair, but I might have assumed wrong when I bought them from coralbandit. Maybe he will chime in and tell me what he thinks as far as sex. They have very different builds when see in person, so I would bet are male/female.
I received these on 10/8, couple months ago. They are very strong and healthy-- surprisingly hearty compared to other rams Ive had in the past.
From ad when purchased they were described as Dark Rams ( F3). Offspring ( 3rd generation) from stock originating from breeders in Israel.
They look good !
These guys are tougher to sex then most rams .
I don't even see any behavior to help out ??
First in video looks female to me by guess.
I am sure when I sent them I was convinced they were male and female .
I just feel rams do better in pairs and unless asked different do my best to send out pairs .
They are offspring from my own rams that were raised in my fish room .Their grandparents were black rams from Danzinger discus farm in Israel ..
I really would have thought they would have breed by now ?
No signs of breeding at all.
I guess I need to get a male to ensure breeding.
I can get you a male what ever color .
A gold from the blacks would be like 2 birds with one stone …
You should end up with 50% that look dark although I think from them only like 25% would have the DD..
Still learning but love helping ..
Hope I am ?
I would like to get a golden male from the blacks=-- thanks Tom. Sounds like that would be the best way to go about getting some fry.
How much?? -- and Ill go to Paypal and pay invoice, which will also have my shipping address etc...
Or would it be better to get another dark male? I dont know- whichever will get me the most dark offspring is what I want.
I need email for PP.
You can private message me here maybe or tag me at coralbandit@aol.com
Tis the season and for the kids site I am doing my second Christmas giveaway ..
I dig hooking people up . I can because of people like you that support me through out the year. I've run business and even when good they can be no fun.. That breaks the first rule of fish keeping in my book ..Have fun . God Bless you Al.
This is my hobby, no my passion and anyone passionate knows they want to share the joy , pleasure and sense of achievement .. I said once ; we all like to be stroked ..It's a pride thing craftsman have . I am bold enough to say I got the rams , but only because so many have said it to me ..
The fish are on me [maybe even shipping ] but I do ask a quit pro quo !~
We'll talk soon I hope !
Those are pretty cool!
Thanks @Jeep
They are a beautiful fish.
Tom sent me 3 more Dark rams and a golden.
The golden is just as beautiful in its own right.
I think I see a dark pair forming in this group by end of video. Tom says he thinks that the pair he sent me spawned the day before he sent them to me.

They look good !
Glad they made it safe ..
I hope to see video of fry soon !
That was the quickest transaction in the world! I love when suppliers are speedy and waste no time!
One day I'll buy some from you, Tom . I just need to keep self-motivating through Pat's, LIz', and Discluv's posts.
