Rams Question.

OK, actually two:

1. Are there three different kinds of Rams, Gold, Blue, Bolivian?

2. Is there a way to tell the difference between Rams when they are young?
Example: A Bolivian Ram from a Gold Ram or Blue Ram?

Edit: I have three Rams, two are supposed to be Blue and one Bolivian. They are still young, so I can't tell the difference.
BWT, I just found out that there is a 4th one, the Electric Blue.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, you won't hurt my feelings if you yell!

There are two species, Bolivian and Blue Ram. Electric Blue and Gold are colour forms of the Blue Ram.

Bolivians actually look similar but noticeably different. Google a few photos and I'm sure you'll be able to see the differences. Bolivians are less colourful but grow a bit bigger and seem a bit tougher.
