redfish Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I hope they get along. Would be nice if they are a pair. One was intentionally chasing the other around the planter I had in the quarantine tank. It would not stop hunting for the other one so I separated them. Food triggered them for some reason.

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hmm yeah, just keep an eye on them. For some species a certain male to female ratio is required to keep the peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they don’t start fighting again. Had to separate them in quarantine once I introduced food. One got aggressive. How are the rams doing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfish Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 They are doing well so far. They moved out of quarantine into the 55 gal community tank. One still gets very aggressive during feeding time, even in the big tank. Food seems to be the trigger still. Otherwise they hang out all the time together. They don’t bother the guppies but the guppies didn’t like them at first. It was funny watching the guppies show how big and bad they are to the rams. The guppies actually steal their food like in your tank. I’m dealing with the same issue as you, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lands at her cave entrance, and since I drop it between the decorations, the tetras don't see it falling through the water. Also she learned to feed near the top with the tetras, but they are quicker. She knows to go to the cave after the food on the top is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Made some Repashy Community Blend for tomorrow but I had this little scrap piece so I tossed it in. Someone likes it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Guys I hadn’t really sexed my ram because I do not have plans to breed, but um..

redfish Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Nice. I’ve been watching the videos to sex mine. I think mine are still too young. The vent shape seems to be the most accurate for sexing BR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest indicator for me was the first three spines on the dorsal fin (hopefully that's the right anatomy name) and then the streamers on the tail growing in. I do see those starting on yours, so leans male for sure 🙂 Yours definitely seems like he'd (potentially) run around with an axe for fun to me! It'll be interesting what name you end up on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’ll call him Snoopy because he investigates everything: me, whatever I drop in the tank, aquascaping tools, the camera, and he tastes every vegetable. 🙂 Edited September 20, 2022 by Chick-In-Of-TheSea 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Snoopy is so awesome. I can’t wait to get mine. Everyone is gearing up to go to Keystone clash this weekend so focus won’t return to located requested fish for 2 weeks. I’m picky and when I find a fish person I get great healthy fish from I don’t like to deviate. Keep the videos coming so I can live vicariously through you and Snoopy until I get mine 🤗🥰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
