Gold rams are a primarily yellow morph. Popular i the hobby, but possibly even more fragile than the standard form.
This Gold Ram male attentively guards his day old fry. Gold Rams are a color morph that can be found at times in fish shops. They are brilliantly colored and really brighten up a tank.
The German Gold Ram is a beautiful color variation of Papilochromis ramirezi. It is a social fish that will form pairs and often remains "faithful" to each other. German Gold Rams have a gold body with hints of pink, orange, and red.
Once I got home, I realized I had gotten only > three regular Rams, and one Gold Ram. My questions are: > Will the two types inter-breed? Yes Am I right in assuming the Gold Ram > is just a color variation? Yes.

I have 4 variations of the Dwarf Gourami in a 200 liter community tank (inlcuding the Dwarf Gourami, Neon Dwarf, Flame Dwarf, and Red-Fire Honey Dwarf with Neon Tetras, Blue and Gold Rams, a Rainbow Shark, Kuhli Loaches and Plecostomus).
I like their selection of moderately hard to find fish, Gold Rams (which they have labeled as Tetra Rams), Khulie Loaches, interesting Angelfish, Kribs, Knives, and a good assortment of Shrimp and Crawfish.
There are also man-made breeds of the Ram Cichlid like for instance; the Gold Ram, Long-finned Ram and there is even larger breeds of the Ram Cichlid.

They will mix well with most other non-to semi-aggressive cichlids, tetras, corys, etc. Rams can go by a variety of names in the aquarium trade. In addition to the blue or gold ram, it is known as Ramirez' cichlids and the butterfly cichlid.
