Rapid respiratorion? iridovirus is not uncommon in ramsUnfortunately female ram died, male still there but eating nothing but 2-3 frozen worms weekly...
It seems that my water is way too cold (23 degrees), that may explain that they aren't very active yet
In theory - no EasyCarbo available locally so I’ve only used Seachem version, formula is likely similar but may not be identical (though that may be insignificant)As for the algae I'm dosing easylife easycarbo , isn't this the same as excel?
On initial use or after a major (> 40%) water change, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L (10 US gallons). Thereafter use 1 capful for every 200 L (50 US gallons) daily or every other day.
I tend to keep my tanks ~24-25C and haven’t had issue with rams, though haven’t kept any for awhile now as lfs stock hasn’t been great quality - deformed (balloon), hormoned (GIANT size, funky proportions), hybrid (body shape & size of M. altispinosus with dilute M. ramirezi colouring) ...
some of the nicest conformed rams have been in the electric blue color lines (platinum) but I’d really like some nice wild type
Seriously Fish reports 26C - 30C
This is so great. Really nice to see how it's changed over time. Like these journals that have a bit of the frustration as well as the experiments and success. Keep going!
The ones you buy are usually a sad reflection of the true fish.They are just incredibly unhealthy.Rams unfortunately both died...worm? Surely...Sad experience.
