Fish Crazy
I've got one blue ram in my community tank (I brought two but one died after a week) and I'm getting worried that he's not getting enough food. He doesn't seem to want to compete with the rosy barbs, congo tetras or rainbows who seem to hoover up everything (and they eat five mouthfuls in the time it takes the ram to have one). I'm bordering on the idea of taking him back to the shop as I don't want him to starve but I've tried live, frozen, flake, veg and even put him in a breeding trap to feed him up and he seems to go on hunger strike. Anyone have similar experiences or have any advice?
Also would I have similar probs with keyhole cichlids or bolivian rams? As I was thinking of getting a couple of either of these two (I should point out that my ph is 7.6 and my water is moderately hard but most books seem to say these fish will be ok as long as kept in those conditions at the fish store)
Any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks
