german blue rams?

[Zorro]

I had 4 blue rams and they did great for a month. But then 2 of them got really fat so i thought they where going to spawn. But they kinda just got fat and died so i dont no what happened there. I havent had rams for a few months but i might try them again

I bought three Blue rams acouple of months ago and put them into a 15 gal. tank that was moderately planted and they seemed to do fine for a week. The two of them (one male one female) started chasing the third alot and had it pinned up in a corner. The outcast was moved to another tank, but other then that, i havent had any problems with my rams, and i didnt do anything all that special with the water either...

Oddball, you have had to post that a half a dozen times, lol.

They're not hard to keep if you do what Sinister was saying and adjust the water to them. . . also keep in mind that they naturally have a VERY short lifespan and the older they are the less inclined to adapt they are.

what are the prefered water parameters for bluerams? Like ph and hardness...

Apparently they're also prone to internal bacterial infections....

This tells us that you neglected to read the posts on the 1st page.

My water must be perfect for them because I have 3 blues and 4 or 5 bolivians together (with other types of fish) in a 55 and they've been great for months.

opps my bad...would blackwater extract be a good addition to a dwarf tank? And can apistos and rams be put together?

When my wife and get rams they seem to last for about 3 months then they up and die on us, for no apparent reason. I think we have finally decided that we are not ram people.
