Grizzly Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I bought 6 Bolivian rams for my 75 and have them in a 10 gallon quarantining . A couple of them are pretty skinny and I never see them eat. I feed them daily but have Malaysian trumpet snails in that tank so if they are not eating they would be eating the food. Found one dead today( one of the skinny ones) on day 4 of quarantine. I’m feeding flakes, vibra bites and frozen brine shrimp. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Fan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Your Bolivian Rams might not be eating as much as they should with the current selection. Bolivian Rams Mikrogeophagus altispinosa are as the Latin name Mikrogeophagus says 'small earth eaters', meaning they prefer sinking pellets they can pick up off the bottom. I feed mine either the Hikari sinking pellets, or the Nutra-Fin 1mm sinking pellets, mine also like to pick at the Repashy Igarapo Explorer food. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/collections/fish-food I hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaAggie Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Mine will eat bug bites and extreme nano pellets. Edited March 25, 2021 by AquaAggie Should have said bug bites not big bites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 What colour are their feces? If stringy and white.. you want to make sure they don't have internal parasites or Hexamita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
