Re: German Blue Rams

what i do to acclimate sensitive fish is pour them into a 5gal bucket and use airline tubing and a adjustable valve and just syphon, adjust valve till all that is coming out is dropletts. leave it till it gets about triple of what it started out as and then cup the fish out into the tank.

Re: German Blue Rams

Well I saw some Gold rams at Fish-R-Us...and they were pretty, but I seem more into the german blue rams....guess I'll keep looking...besides funds were at ZERO, so I wouldnt have been able to buy any fish today even if I wanted to  :(

eklikewhoa-I like your rams....very nicely colored!!

Re: German Blue Rams

Village got a new batch of Rams this week. Steve was showing me their more wild coloring and that they are much more active and aggressive than most rams. And not shy. Come right to front of tank in a group like Africans.

Steve thinks his importer is breeding wild with tank bred to get more of the wild traits.

Check them out. Upper right tank across from counter.

Re: German Blue Rams

I picked up a pair at Village yesterday and they're doing just fine.  I cheated a little on the acclimation, I just floated their bag taped to the top of the tank and added a shot glass of tank water every half hour or so and they seem to be fine.  

I also picked up one of the Whiptail/Twig cats (Farlowella) and he/she seems to be doing great as well.  Oh, and a bunch of those cardinals as well.  Just went there to "LOOK" and we all know how that goes.
