I bought a German gold Ram today and he seems to be fine eating properly and everything on the first day.....hes about 1 to 2 inches


I just put in an order for a couple german blues.


My question is are rams really that sensitive and delicate of a fish or is it and over exaggeration



If i do 25% water changes twice weekly should they be fine? My water levels stay fine and my water hardness is about 7.5



thanks in advance

yes they are touch with water quaity........ the like soft water and ull need a lot of plants...... wat other fish u have in the tank with the rams?

I have had Bolivian Rams for a few years not not a problem at all eat any thing they can be a aggressive towards each other. I do a 30% weekly water change 5ft tank. I also run a UFG 3 risers and a Eheim Pro11.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

ok bloivian rams are much much hardery than the germans rams........

I have 1 young angel fish and a powder blue dwarf gourami in a 55 gallon



I realize the bloivians may be slightly hardier but i dont find them in the least bit attractive....especially not compared to the german blue.


If i stay with a 25 percent water change twice weekly then my rams should be ok unless disease breaks out right?....

I mean as far as i can see its mostly nitrates that are a problem with this fish and temperature,which stays no less than 80 degrees in my tank.


So you remove nitrates by water changes,right?


Im sorry if i seem like im being pushy its just that i find this fish beautiful and i love their personality,and i see other people keep them happily so it makes me think,why not me?


Thanks in advance any help would be greatly appreciated.
