In light of recent weather events here in NC I have some bad news to report. Over the last week we were getting off and on snow/ice storms. One of which took down a power line (I have no idea how, we barely got any ice) and we lost power. Unfortunately no one was home to kick on the generator and I came home to some dead fishes. Normally these storms and power outages arent a problem, but we werent home. Total fatalities:

1 bolivian ram (the younger male)
3 german blue rams (2 female and the 1 male I was finally able to find)
1 ember tetra

My remaining blue ram (the little female) you may have seen some photos of her, is doing just fine.

All is back to normal though.

so sorry to hear your loss!!!!!!!

hopefully the rest of the fish recover well and no more losses occur...

Seeing you have a generator I assume it is for house hold use as well. Do you know that they can be made to kick in when the power goes of automatically.

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

So sorry Punk! I've followed your attempts to get all set up with your rams. These rams seem to be a never ending source of pleasure as well as frustration for you. If it isn't one thing, it's another!
Maybe you've been through it all now & there is nothing left but success for you. I wish you the best of luck in future!

Thank you all for the comments. Ya our genorator has a switch you can flip to have it come on automatically when the power goes off. But we did not have the switch flipped.
