Bolvian Ram spots?

[Cathy G]

Hi, is there a subspecies of the microgeophagus altispinosa which has diamond shaped spots verus regular black uneven splotches? I'd never heard this before and am checking the veracity of this rumour.

Some Bolivian Rams have 2 flank patches, but there is another M. altispinosus-like species from southern Brazil. Look up M. sp. Zweifleck, which has a large flank patch and a large caudal spot.
