bolivian ram

I have a pair of Bolivian rams that laid eggs last week for the first time in a month and I was pretty excited. The eggs disappeared a couple days ago and today I found where the wrigglers went. I know that I probably won’t have the best outcome with survival rate but I want to know if there’s a...

I got 3 Bolivian rams a couple days ago, and they settled in decently, although it’s rather difficult to sex them. One particular ram looks to be the dominant one in the tank, and chases both of the others out of its territory. Tonight, however, I noticed it had gotten really dark. It darkened...

My first cichlid, I adore him! :flowers:

Hi All, thanks in advance for the help. I am relatively new to fish keeping (~6 months) and new to this forum (first time registering/posting today). I have a 20 gallon heavily planted tank: 5 Neon Tetras 7 Pristella Tetras 1 Mollie 2 Platy Some context: Until recently I also had 2 Bolivian...

Hey all, Finally got my nitrite readings down to 0 ppm! This is 2 days in a row, and about 4 hours after a big meal. I'm going to go to my LFS soon to pick up a background, some final plants and some new fish! I have the 4 peppered corydoras and I intend to finish their shoal off this weekend by...

Hey all, I'm in the Texas/New Mexico area and was wondering if anyone in the surrounding areas has some bolivian rams? The ones at my LFS don't look so good. Looking for either one male or a bonded pair. LMK if you've got any :)

Iv woke up this morning and I’m pretty sure I’m missing. Bolivian ram as they were a pair never more than a yard apart n now I have one it’s been swimming alone for the Past hour , is it safe to say it has been killed and body eaten as there’s no sign of it anywhere if so should I take the other...

Hello, this is my 1st post. Let me say I am not a total newbie but it has been 20+ years since I have had anything bigger than a 10 gallon. Have had a 150 gallon in the past for a few years. I will be getting the rest of the new filter and new substrate (play sand most likely, but open to...

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category...i wasn't sure where to put it. I'm looking at setting up a 75gal tank (probably a long) at some point in the future. It will be heavily planted with driftwood and plenty of hiding places. Im looking at stocking it with some of the following...

Hello all! While I'm not *exactly* new to the hobby, after doing a lot of reading I've discovered that I'm new to keeping fish correctly (as in, all those years I was keeping fish as a child, I was basically running to the pet store, thinking 'this is pretty,' and getting extremely lucky that...

I was feeding the 90 gallon fish when I found that two of my bolivian rams had made a nest! I don't doubt that the eggs won't make it, but it was fascinating to watch their parenting. These guys are likely the best first time parents I've ever had. There wasn't any excessive aggression, or...

Hi everyone. Just some questions concerning my 60 Gallon Tank. Hoping someone can help. I have 3 Bolivian Ram's and one of them looks to be stressed as it's colors aren't normal. It's basically turned dark grey and hides from time to time. But every now and then comes out to swim around. Hasn't...

Hello fellow fish lovers. I'm just confused. Is this a Bolivian Ram?  

I figure I'll start a thread to chart the progress of this recently set up tank. This won't just be about plants but about my fish as well and I like to post lots of pictures   This first post will be fairly long as I'd like to go a little into the set up of the tank as well as how it is now...

All of water levels are fine, ph=6.8, ammonia=0, nitrite=0, nitrate=5. 3 out of my 4 bolivian rams have died in the past week, don't know why. The last one looks like it has the same symptoms and will pas soon too probably. The symptoms are just a huge decrease in activity, loss of color, and...

Hey, I have followed every guide to effectively fish-less cycle an aquarium I think exists on the interwebs, and am now about a week off from adding my fish (provided all goes to plan).  My current plan is to include into my heavily planted 25 gallon tank: 6 Zebra Danio, 8 Black Widow/Phantom...
