GBR

Tried to keep German blue rams in a 29g once and he lasted maybe 2 months then caught some kind of fungus or something and died. Is it easier to keep sensitive fish in a bigger tank? I currently set up a 90g that will eventually be heavily planted and was hoping to try some more rams and maybe some dwarf cichlids. If I have to I may just settle for Bolivian rams maybe.

I'm going to put in a pair of GBRs in my 27 gallon...

I was wondering the same thing. I love the look of rams but have never tried to keep them.

I have a 55 and plan on adding some rams if I can find a pet store that sells them.

There were some for sale on ebay the other day. Not sure if they can ship to you overnight or not.

I think I read an article that said GBRs are very delicate and don't handle shipping very well.

 

[Sillyfishies]

Yes they are very delicate. Not like discus delicate but a spike would easily kill one.

Yea but the question is are they easier to keep in a 90g than they would be in a 29g

Yes. Partly because you can get away with more in a 90

 

[blizowman1]

Ok so how much water should I change in a 90g weekly

 

[Sillyfishies]

25-30%

Yes, I think they would do better in a 90 although I am keeping mine in a 30 gallon
