Rams Problem
Bubble eye Ram died... (At least when it was quarantined)
I have still 6 left - One is itching all the time...go figure what this is ;-) The 'big' issue today was that I was able to see one Amano shrimp but it disappear after a short while.... Maybe they are still hiding some place... As for the Rams they are locally grown in HARD water.... imported Rams would survive in my tank only for about a week.... Amit "RedForeman ©®" wrote in message ... Red, you need to assess the state of your LFS's tanks. I would say the biggest culprit would be water quality. The rams probably go into osmotic shock and then over the next few days/weeks slowly dwindle away. In my my part of the woods Rams are pretty expensive so acclimating them slowly was the way to go for me. You could also try Bolivian Rams, not as colourful but also an equally wonderful fish. I bought 6 and one died ;( The rest are thriving in my tank, a much hardier species IMO. hth Most of the blue rams I got were online purchases, and it was my mistake by getting them from the same place twice... -- RedForeman ©® future fabricator and creator of a ratbike streetfighter!!! ========================== 2003 TRX450ES 1992 TRX-350 XX (For Sale) 1987 TRX250R (sold) 1987 CBR600 Hurricane (sold) 1987 VFR700 Interceptor (sold) 1995 TRX300ex (sold) 2000 CBR600F4 silver/red (sold) *sniff*sniff* '98 Tacoma Ext Cab 4X4 Lifted.... ========================== ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤° `°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø "By US Code Title 47, Sec.227(a)(2)(B), a computer/modem/printer meets the definition of a telephone fax machine.
