I have to disagree on the difficulty of sexing electric blue rams. Mine are very clearly easy to tell the difference

I'd be interested to hear the differences.

Males are larger and the females have a fat bright pink belly that the male does not have. Quite a different shape to them.

Yours are nice German blues.

Google "electric blue rams" and you'll see the difference.  I'd post a link but my browser got hijacked and I don't feel like fixing it until tomorrow. :)

Mine are called sapphire blue. Difference is my blue is more scattered and not all the way through like a traditional electric blue.

From what I read they are same species, just a different color morph?

Yes, gold/german blue/electric blue are all mikrogeophagus ramirezi...at least last time I checked.  Cichlids get moved around frequently as to exact names.

Really?  I don't think of them as a dwarf and they are one of the more aggressive mbuna IMO.  Maybe you had better luck than me.  I tried 1M 3F in a 20 long (3" male, 2" females) for a few days (only tank I had free for holding) and one male and the larger female killed the other two females.  Could be a number of factors to that.
