We have 3 blue rams, 2 females and a male. They were all getting along till about a week ago when the male started chasing the females around, bullying them. They start off by showing him their bright colours, but end up very dull and grey, with all fins down. He won't let up, and is so bright, almost purple blue with black head. We've had them about 2 months, and he has almost doubled in size, but the females remain the same. We thought one of the females, because of grey colour and stringy white poo had hexamita, so we put him into a breeding net in the tank and treated the tank with Interpet Anti internal bacteria 9. We are 5 days into treatment, and one of the females has become very colourful and is courting by his net. So we let him out last night for a hour or two and he just chased them around the tank, biting and attacking them till they both lost all their colour and looked grey with stripes, so we've had to put him back in the breeding net. We are continuing with treatment and feeding frozen live foods. Any ideas of how we can introduce him back into the tank without losing our females?? We have 2 females because we're read on this forum that it was better to attract some of the males attention.
