I believe he was suggesting you ADD 1 more ram with your existing ram :o And you don't sound pushy. Questions are always good. Yes they are! They like to choose their own mates and just because you have a male and female does not mean they will like each other.
If you get another female, they will just ignore each other anyway. They best way to get a pair, if you want a pair, is to buy 6 and let them pair off.
The others do fine if you have a pair in the same tank, providing their is enough floor space in the tank. The typical territory for a Bolivian Ram is about 12 square inches of floor space in the aquarium. Hope this helps. Dec 21, 11, 1 38 64 Spanaway, Wa. Real Name Ed. Taysius Research first, buy later.

From yellow to red and silvery blue, Bolivian Rams will definitely stand out in you tank. These fish are perfect for beginners — breeding these fish can be quite rewarding too! Read our complete care guide to keeping these amazing fish. We cover everything from tank conditions to dietary requirements, as well as some helpful tips on how to breed them. Bolivian Rams are Cichlids and unlike their closely related cousins such as the green terror cichlid they are peaceful.
They belong to the Cichlidae family which is they largest group of freshwater fish. This family is very popular in the aquarium trade and includes fish such as Angelfish , Oscars , and Discus. This cichlid is quite hardy and with the right water conditions and care, the Bolivian Ram can live for up to 4 years.
Even though Cichlids are well known to be the bullies of most aquariums, this fish is an exception — the Bolivian Ram is a peaceful fish.
This serene fish spends most of its time in the lower and middle parts of the tank. Their swimming behavior is unique; they typically move for a few strokes and then stop suddenly, over and over again. They do this when feeding so they can sieve through the sediment whilst not stirring it up. Apart from the occasional peculiar swimming style when looking for food, Bolivian Rams look quite graceful and can swim quite quickly when trying to evade predators.
They have an elongated oval shaped body they reaches around 3. Interestingly they have a small series of spiky ray shaped fins and tails — this is a typical characteristic of ray-finned fishes. Their striking body colors ranges from almost dull brown to grayish blue. They have yellow bellies which sometimes extend to the front. They are often recognizable for their distinctive black spot in the middle of their body with some specimens having a black line between their eyes.
Fins and tails are orange along the edges. This species shows sexual dimorphism. Males are usually bigger with a pointed dorsal fins and longer filaments along the tail than females. Females are also smaller reaching only about 2. To help against predators, they have spiny rays on their fins. These rays can be quite dangerous as they can strangle and suffocate the predator with them. The front part of their fins are soft to allow them to swim gracefully.
Bolivian Rams are hardy fish and providing they have good quality water that is well oxygenation they should be healthy and happy fish.
