I just stole a quick look at him and he lookes NOTHING like a blue or bolivian ram. The black stripes are fading and the "neon" blue is coming out some more, but not enough to make it look like a ram. Maybe his color will change tommorrow so I can stop guessing about his species.
If anyone has seen somthing like this, please fell free to share with us;)

I'm working on getting a picture( I'm not very tech savy). I'll tell you all I know about it, though. The "ram" is:
opaque with black horizontil stripes (some of them are fading)
About 1-1.5 inches long
peaceful and timid
small neon blue dots on his fins, upper half of his body, cheeks, and upper lip.
the dorsil fin has the black part at the first 2 "spines" of the fin, with the first spine being longer than all the others
he will eat anything that he comes across
the shape of a ram
well thats the best description that i can give you. I hope it helps. :) Regaurdless if its a ram or not, he's a very nice fish and is quickly becoming my favorite fish.

Thanks.
His fins are turning a slight shade of orange and the black part of the dorsil fin is turning blacker. His colors are starting to show now, but I still can't definatly tell what color he is going to turn. I'll keep you posted.

Boy, that little "problem" had me going, didn't it!*ALL*
Thanks*BOUNCINGS

Okay, I'm just curious here, but if I were to start a second 10 gal., would i be able to keep 1 convict cichild with some other fish? I've done some research on them and just wanted a thought on this.
thanks*twirlysmi
