I got a pair of Bolivian Ram, Which I believe is a male and a female, not 100% sure? I was wondering 1, how I can tell the gender of them, and two how to get them to breed as well as what to feed them. Thanks guys.

Gender is easiest by the dorsal fins, males will have two prominant ones when they are raised and females will just have one. There are some other techniques if you can;t figure it out from this. As far as breeding goes, condition them on some high quality food, and then be patient.
 
post picks... easy to tell apart... bright coloration and trailers on fin is male
 
My bolivians breed often. Male is much more colorful and has fancier fins (trailers). Female is smaller and no where near as colorful. Very hard to sex until the fins grow out.
