The Bolivian Ram is typically bigger, although I have seen some larger GBR varieties. I have both, and they're both equally active, although my GBR are 'trained' and actually swim to the top for food, while my Bolivian Rams only eat food that falls to the bottom.

Bolivian Rams are supposed to be hardier, but I've had a good experience with both.
