  1. The pics aren't the best, I chose the best one for the thumbnail. But I have been struggling to get my rams out of quarantine for a month now. First it was real ich. Beat that with "nox ich", very good product highly recommend. But afterwards these white clumps took out my tetras in a week and have taken to my rams. Thinking Epistylis I lowered temps from 84F to 79F since Epistylis is faster in the warmth and added Sulfaplex to my nox ich. Since nox ich is Malachite Green and salt and I heard online it was safe to mix with Sulfaplex. 2 weeks later and nothing. The rams don't seem to care they eat (medicated food made from sulfaplex and bug bites) and they swim and play. But these little clumps just keep growing. They look like clusters of eggs! I have never seen this one before so I'm searching everywhere for advice. I'm thinking if the Sulfaplex doesn't start working I've seen someone treat Epistylis with copper and I might give that a go? Thoughts? Edit: also forgot to say I included the parameters from earlier. Did a water change because of the nitrites. But that's pretty normal for this tank. And it's a 10 gallon with nothing but the 2 GBRs and a sponge filter.
  2. Tried Bolivian Rams this month with a group of 6. Pair formed pretty much immediately and fry now free swimming. My plan was to leave them for a month or two, similar to the regani pike spawn, for benefits of parents care and assistance. Anyone have experience with raising these? Seem to be feeding on mulm, first bites, coop fry food, and possibly BBS 1 week past free swimming.
  3. So I have a batch of Ram eggs. The parents remain with the eggs in a secluded 20g. Question; I can see several eggs that don't look fertile. How on earth do I remove the unfertilized eggs without disturbing the parenthood now taking place? Those things are tiny! She laid them on a small piece of slate. It's mostly the male guarding the eggs, but they do seem to take turns.
  4. My blue balloon ram appears to have fungus but i'm no expert. I have her in my quarantine tank now and have added 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt per 2 gallons of water and about to add Ich-X and Maricyn. Anything you would suggest different? Temp is around 79/80 and parameters are good (7.2/0/0/20 ph/ammonia/nitrite/nitrates) with softish water 4/5 KH/GH.
  5. Hi everyone! These two are my Bolivian Rams. They live in a, heavily planted, 75 gallon tank with 2 bristlenose plecos, 20 rummynose tetras, 10 pristella tetras, and 6 platys. I originally bought 4 of them from a Petsmart because they looked so beat up I wanted to try and revitalize them. I'm glad I did because they are awesome fish! Unfortunately, during the process of deworming them I lost 2 to camallanus red worms (since treated with levamisole). Now I have the problem of the one on the bottom bullying the one on the top. They sometimes patrol the tank together but the one on the bottom gets very territorial with his food. I would like to have more Bolivian Rams in this tank anyways but i'm not sure how to go about adding more. This one of the bottom is obviously the tank boss so I'm worried he will fight a lot more if he doesn't have his 3 foot of space like he does now. So how many more Bolivian Rams would you add to the tank? Should I remove the alpha male before adding the new rams then bring him back after they are acclimated, or should I just add the new rams after their quarantine and monitor? It's a standard 75 gallon tank with tons and tons of plant cover/wood/huts so I think there is plenty of territory for them to divide up. Also, are there any ram experts that can sex the one on the left? Thanks for any help! Feel free to ask questions and i'll be happy to answer them.
