Be Patient my friend.... it may take a while for the people with the knowledge that you require to read your post & reply to it. I know in the UK there are new tank additives that give your set up a kick start, But i'm not sure what brand names are availible in the US.

What a STUNNING Golden Ram :wub:

Using boiled water will reduce the kh so i have been told. ( not tried it ) you could also try mixing some RO water say 30 % , which you can purchase pre treated from most good LFS. I personally use SERA Morena to reduce GH... but it will Tan the water as it uses a peat extract. Morena is...

Well spotted Alia.... didn't make myself very clear did i. Got sidetracked a bit just dealing with the Ram issue. :crazy: The point that i was trying to make is that two Rams left alone with each other in any size tank will result in the less dominant of the two being bullied if they are both...

Mmm Tough one without any pictures of the fish involved, but my guess is that you probably did have two fish of the same sex & the more dominant was staking the whole tank as his teritory. I have had over twenty rams in a 180 litre tank & although squabbles over teritory were common there was...

I have'nt heard of any problems getting hold of female Golden Rams.... But as i said it can be hard to sex very young fish. I personally would buy a group of say 6 young Rams & as they mature they will either pair off naturally or you can try to sex them once they have matured & pass on the fish...

Sexing Golden Rams is Fairly Difficult in young fish. However it is not impossible..... The Males tend to be larger than the Females & often have the 2nd or 3rd spine elongated on the dorsal fin. The Females tend to be smaller than the Males , also the female is more rounded in the belly & when...

I have found that the best way to begin to breed rams is to buy a group of young induviduals say 6 fishes, try to get a ratio of 2 females to 1 male & as they grow & mature they will pair off naturally. If you just buy 1 male & 1 female there is no gaurantee that they will breed. Hope this is...

William.... click on ( Home ) on A C 's post & then click on gallery once you get there.. :D

I wouldnt go for more than a couple of pairs at a time in the same tank as they may fight over territory 3 pairs at most me thinks. Although..... firstly you need them to pair up in the firstplace... my advice is buy a group of young individuals with the female to male ratio of 2 female's per...
