Hey that is a great idea, thanks!

    I kept them a long time ago and I never remember having any problems with them but now I have lost so many and I think it might all be from my large male bullying them and stressing them out by constantly chasing them around the tank. :(

Thanks. I will be picking up a few more plants so I can add more hiding spaces and change things around a bit.   I recently changed things around and they didn't fight for like a week and then the alpha male kept bullying the other two all the time.   I want to get more rams but now I am scared...

Awesome!

I had three german blue rams, 2 male 1 female.     About a week ago I noticed my female ram had a little white mark on the top of her head, near her eye.     It looked a lot like that (it was hard to get a good picture)   Then her eye started swelling pretty bad and she died within the next...

  Unfortunately she died, her eye kept getting worse and the white patch on her head looked to be getting deeper, kind of similar to hole in the head? But I don't understand because my water was near perfect when I tested it. My male ram just died yesterday too, he had a small white spot on his...

Thanks. Her eye is still swollen today but the white patch is healing quickly so I hope the swelling will subside after. I am going to try some melafix.

Thanks! Will do :)

Unfortunately I don't have a hospital tank and capturing her in my tank would probably take a couple hours. Last time I was able to catch a fish who was too aggressive for my tank it took 3 adults and over 2 hours, a lot of stress.   It is just a white mark that appears to look like a scrape of...

Right now I have two male german blue rams and one female in a planted 75 gallon tank.   One of the males went missing for a couple weeks and I had assumed he was dead but recently he came out of hiding and I noticed my female had a small white spot above her eye a couple days ago. It just...

I picked up this eel a couple weeks ago, he has been doing really well in my tank and hangs out with my pleco all the time like this. haha.       And just to make sure, that is a yellow spiny eel? I've never had one before, I guess they aren't really eels at all but I guessed that is what...

Your loach is so cool!

I've had firemouths and rams before and I personally favor the rams. I love german blue rams. They are so pretty and fun to watch. They have their own little personalities to them too even though they are a smaller fish.   I have german blue rams in my 75 gallon with four angels and they seem to...

  He is a gold gourami I believe. Thanks!   Surprisingly my pair of angels are better parents than my rams, although I'm sure they will get a hang of it soon.   Speaking of, they actually laid eggs last night and the male has been protecting them so well.   The female seems uninterested.   They...

      Cleaned my 75 gallon tank today and I think the fish appreciate it. I also turned the log upright, it use to be laying down. It has really helped with my rams fighting all the time.

  Right now my stock is   4 angels 3 german blue rams 1 albino bristlenose pleco 1 gold gourami 1 guppy     Do you think I would be fine adding another male and two females?

  Almost 2 weeks old now

I had two males and two females in my 75 gallon tank One male paired up with the female and then all of a sudden my other male was gone for about a week. The other day I look in the tank and he is in there but had lost most of his color and looked really stressed. I thought he was dead for sure...

I've never raised fry before so I really don't have any experience. I noticed about a week ago, my angels had laid eggs but by the time I noticed them they were already wrigglers. Overnight over half of them had disappeared so I decided to cut the leaf off and move the wrigglers into a separate...

  I am pretty sure my pair of rams killed at least one of my female rams, she was very small and I watched the pair peck at the female over and over and chase her all throughout the tank. She started floating on her side and they continued to peck at her until I could scoop her out and put her...

watch the video. They are wriggles attached to the egg sac still. It is hard to get a decent picture since they are so tiny.

  With that size of tank it could be possible to have two pairs     I think my female ram is dead now. I'm not sure but I haven't seen her today and she usually is always by the male since they are a pair. My angels had wrigglers and one of them was being very protective. Is it possible that...

View My Video   My angels have wrigglers and they are so cute and tiny!   They have laid eggs before but they always get eaten before they get to this stage.     There are less this morning when I checked on them but still about 20 wrigglers.

Oh yeah, my tank is 75 gallons.   I think I will leave them be.

So my pair of german blue rams have taken out 3 rams now.   The first ram was pretty old so I wasn't sure if he died from being old or if they killed him. The second ram I bought with the male I have now and they use to all get along and now he has been missing for a couple days so I can only...

  I just witnessed my pair of rams attacking the other female. She was at the very top and swimming on her side and they kept bumping her around and pecking her. :(   I took her out and have her in a little tank with a small filter and some plants for cover at the top. I hope she recovers. I...

    He is definitely dead ha, he hasn't showed up yet. Since my pair of rams just spawned I think maybe they killed the other male.   Do you think I should risk trying to add another pair of rams in my tank? I don't want them to get killed but would like more rams.   My gourami is pretty docile...

  I haven't because I don't want to uproot any of my plants :( I have a lot of plants so in some areas it is really hard to see anything. I also have a 3d background and there is a small space where he could be hiding behind the actual background. I checked outside the tank and didn't see...

I just have two 30W 50/50 fluorescent bulbs.

I just saw rabbit snails today for the first time at the fish store! They are so cute. I really want one for my tank haha :P

So I started out with 3 rams, two males and one female. One of the males died after a couple weeks and the male and female paired up. Then after a couple months, my female randomly died. Nothing wrong with the water (I think another fish was killing my rams so I removed it)   I had one male...

    I bought mine about a year ago or so and it was half off and it was still way too expensive haha :P

      Finished cleaning the 75 gallon. I think the rams appreciate it.

  That was why I was confused because all of the good eggs were missing and the "bad" eggs were left on the leaf. I think they may have hatched and got eaten last night when the lights were off. :(

  I really want to get a smaller corner tank for the pair. I woke up and the white eggs are gone and the rams are no longer protecting that area so I think maybe they hatched and the tiny fry got eaten last night.

That is what I thought, if a fish got to the eggs they would have eaten all the eggs. I will look out for fry because the male seems to still be protecting the back of the tank.

I have been checking on them but it is so hard to see way back in my tank haha I tried looking for any tiny fry but no luck. I think I will wait until tomorrow and see how they act.

Well the majority of them are completely gone. When I first saw the eggs they were all a tannish color and then the next couple days like 4 or 5 of them had turned white and now I only see the white ones left on the leaf where the eggs were originally laid.   Now the male and female are still...
