Blue Rams

[Jamesham]

I currently have 2 Blue Rams. One of them look 100% normal. It seems to be keeping a small patch to itself. The other's tail is all together tightly. It colours look slighly faded and when it gets near the normal one, the normal one comes out as like pecks it or sucks it on the head. The weird one then just tilts to the side while being attacked.

Is this two males fighting, a spawning pair or something else.


Please help me with this one.

hey there Jamesham
in my experince with rams, when the tail is tightly together and they are withdrawn it is a combination of stress (which sounds very likely) and salt content in the water.

it sounds like u have two males and one is fighting for domminance,but generally speaking they are peaceful fish,
good luck hope that helps

Males are more colourful and the first 2 rays on thier dorsal fin will be much higher than the rest. If they both have that, then you got to males.
