you could probablly keep them in a 10 and leave them in a 10.. usually when u buy rams there big as they will get.. about 3-3.5''. as long as you only have the 2 rams in the 10 im sure it would be fine...

Sexing rams is not difficult as they do show a reasonable amount of sexual dimorphism. The first several spines of the dorsal fin or "crest" of the males are longer than those of the females. Males also tend to be a little larger than females. Females on the other hand tend to be fuller in the abdomen and exhibit a bright red coloration in this area when in breeding condition.
