[Question about purigen]

Just to be clear (make sure I understand what you're saying), neither prime nor fritz conditioner/dechor will regenerate purigen. 50% bleach is what does that, then the dechlor makes it tank safe again. Right? 

I mean when it comes time to clean it remove the chlorine dechlorinate the water some conditioners might affect it the purigen .

I’ve never used chemical filtration so I was a bit concern that’s all .

Rinse it, use it. Enjoy clear looking water. It really is that simple. Don't over think it.

I have a spare bag, that I swap in. I then regenerate the old one and save it for next time.

Simple and easy 👍 I like that 😂

[Question about purigen]

Hi everyone i have a simple question 

so I’m planning on introducing purigen to my tank .

And I use Fritz complete water conditioner 

just wanna make sure but work well .Mix well.

I have read the purigen doesn’t regenerate well with certain water conditioners .I have also read in the past that prime and Fritz are almost the same ??

I just don’t want some bad juju in my tank 😂😂😂

 

thanks in advance!!

I have a Bolivian ram named Snoopy and there is a link to his journal in my signature line.

He loves yellow squash so much.

@Guppysnail has a Bolivian Ram too.

What do u feed your ram …was he picky ?

what other natural snack would u recommend?

Looks like you might have internal parasites. Very common. Can be a bother to be rid of. You can try adding this stuff as directed...

You might also try this med...

 

I've also found _moderate_ success adding this to fish food...

 

This is way i was lso scared 😟 ….I’ll have to order it cause the only close fish store is Petco and PetSmart.

So would u recommend one of the 2 .if so which one would u say is more effective ?…

Also would u recommend pulling them out

or do u recommend treating the whole tank just to play it safe with the other fishes .

White or clear poop can be poop with no food in it just the mucus lining if your seeing any of these symptoms rapid breathing hanging near the surface listlessness weight loss spitting food out flashing than I would treat for parasites I don't think you have anything to worry about I would just monitor for any of the symptoms I described 

This little guy has been glass surfing from time to time that’s the only random thing I’ve notice from him 

[What is this coming out of my Bolivian ram ?help!!]

I’m not sure if it’s poop …doesn’t look like it .please tell me it’s not persistes 

I’ve had them for like 3 days 

they were shipped to me on Friday

Congratulations! As a breeder shipping out German Blue Rams tomorrow, I'm happy to hear that your fish arrived alive and that you're thrilled. Honestly, shipping fish, that is all I could ever want to hear.

To bring out the best in them, I suspect that you need to figure out an excellent diet. Although a lot of people feed them, I dislike feeding Rams blood worms. In my view, they often breakdown on a heavy diet of them. I like Daphnia, live Baby Brine Shrimp, Mysis, finely chopped up Krill, Bug Bites . . . even Hikarki Herring eggs! 

I just saw this coming out of my ram 

it doesn’t look familiar 

please tell me it’s not parasites

I was so scared ordering online.But so far so good 😊 their q bit shy

And thanks again!!

[New Gorgeous Bolivian Ram Pair]

They look really great! Took mine time to settle in but I got mine from another fishkeeper who was shutting down the aquarium he was in. Clean water, good food and no stress. I'd watch how they interact with each other as that can get bumpy once they settle in. If they pair up- then you'll likely have no issues unless they spawn- if there are any other fish in the tank they can get territorial. Mine is solo and he does great and is good to his tankmates. Welcome to the wonderful world of Bolivian Rams! And welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks so much .your rams are beautiful to ..I was so skeptical but curious to order fish online but I definitely don’t regret it ☺️they are amazing and they seem to be doing great .thanks for the advice.

I love Bolivians. I keep 3 in a community tank and I’ve grown to really love them. Very under appreciated fish I feel. Hope you enjoy!

I agree so much …so under appreciated they are amazing 😱

[New Gorgeous Bolivian Ram Pair]

First of all hi 

this are my first gorgeous pair of bolivian rams and they are my first fish i order online .

they came in yesterday .I got them from aqua huna and they seem to be doing good so far .They did eat already .they do still seem a bit stress cause they sometimes glass surf for a little bit . But so far so good and so far I’m satisfied.

they are so gorgeous 😱😱😱

im just hoping to get an opinion from previous owners of rams or someone a bit more experience then me on how they look since I’ve never had rams before .

also hoping on some suggestions on keeping them healthy and happy .

Thanks I’m advance .
