I'm planning on getting a small tank in my dorm room soon and I've been debating on two different types of ram cichlids. My lfs at home recently started stocking both Bolivian and Blue rams, and I can't decide which ones to get. I like both of their colors a lot. The Bolivians they carry are substantially larger then the blues so I won't be able to keep both in the same tank. Which one is easier to take care of and more entertaining to watch?
 
I would do the Germans....They are a little more expensive though...
 
I like the German Blue rams better, but I have never had good luck with them.. Don't seem very hardy, especially Gold Rams..

Bolivian Rams on the other hand have always done great for me and spawned on many occasions.. Colors get better with a good environment/diet, but nothing like the blue rams..
 
Thanks for the input!!! Score so far;
Blue: 2
Bolivian: 0
