it bite none, no indication, they even were eating. i guess that article that JC sent you is right. about they are making the a weak species.
 
Wow zilla, both males huh? I found that article during my search to discover why only the Gold and Blue Rams have a high mortality rate when introduced to the home aquarium.

I'm thinking of starting a German Blue Ram thread similar to the Discus thread.
 
Rams are known by some for undergoing respiratory stress once introduced in to a new tank or during shipment.

This is what I am most worried about. They seem to be breathing faster than the other fish, but I cant tell really if it is normal for them or not. I don't have a lot of hope now that you have had yours for almost two weeks, and they seemed fine up until their death. I guess I just have to wait and see. :?
 
I'm so sorry to here of your recent loss.
I must admit i was worried about mine when i got them as they were breathing at a much higher rate than my other fish.
However i moved the spray bar for my tank so that i was getting maximum water agitation and all seemed to settle down after a day or tow.

Ahh stunning fish the Ram. They took a about a week to settle in. In all fairness are still growing in confidence, with their other tank mates. Their colours came back after a day or two and are now back to their stunning beauty.
Mine too split up and remained that way for around a week and a bit. Although now they seem to tolerate each other and even swim together for very short periods. Before the male gets tired of the female and chases her around for a bit.

Lovely fish and i'm so glad i got them. :lol:
