German Blue Rams

[jklntx]

I think I read recently someone was interested in German Blue Rams. Fish Gallery just received a new batch. They are rather calm and have good color...so they should be good for the pickin tomorrow.

Re: German Blue Rams

I would give it a few more days for them to settle in.

Re: German Blue Rams

Yeah, you want to give Rams a few days if not a week to settle in at a LFS.  They are notorious for health issues right off the bat.

Re: German Blue Rams

Sensitivity IS there middle name...right about letting them acclimate i...its wise to let  a few days if not a week pass for acclimation for any new fish at a lfs....these arrived a few days ago at FG.

Re: German Blue Rams

Went by FG today & seen the new rams. They only had 3 males in this order. So I had to get 2 of them with 2 females.
They have chased the Tetras out of their spot in the tank.
They seam to be doing fine now,but still have not seen them eat yet.

Re: German Blue Rams

I saw the Rams at FG too....they look very happy/healthy....the badis on the other hand.

Re: German Blue Rams

Got them to eat some blood worms a few minutes ago. So we will see how they do.

Re: German Blue Rams

you know i dont think i have ever seen a really good shipment of badis come in, and i have never really had success wit hthem either. though i think they are really cool. i had some dario dario (scarlet badis was old name) do well for a while once, but never since.

Re: German Blue Rams

I think the problem is the water.

loopy, you think you have never eaten bloodworms  :wink:

Re: German Blue Rams

hmmm...I'm not sure...unless it's another mystery ingredient in Peanut butter! If that's the case, then I guess I have, EK! LOL!

I was looking up those scarlet badis the other day and I read that the females are really colorless so they almost never get shipped overseas to breed... Just something I read...not really a part of the conversation, I guess...

Here's the article if y'all are interested!

Re: German Blue Rams

Well with the LFS's most people go to buy the pretty fish there are a lot of species that are shipped/bought that way.

But in FG's case most of the males have either been sold off or died off cause there is only a few males in the tank.
