    Golden ram behaving strangely

    This is it... there wasn't much of a difference in terms of packaging from the other plant I ordered which was from a company called Java Aquarium Plants.com, ... the only real difference was the smell and quality of the leaves...

    Golden ram behaving strangely

    This is great, thank you. I've added treatment yesterday, incase there are free swimming ones... not sure how long they have been on the rams or on any of the other fish in the tank. I do think it might have come from the plant from amazon... behaviour started day after, but that also when we...

    Golden ram behaving strangely

    Thanks for both of your replies. The single fish are our original fish from when we started out tank up about 3 years ago. Originally we had 5 white mountain minnow but down to our last one.

    Golden ram behaving strangely

    Im concerned about our golden ram. We've had him for a while now, so know that this is new... although recently, we got him a buddy and found out she is carrying eggs. Because of this, I decided it was a good enough excuse to buy some pretty plants in the hopes that she would feel safe to lay...

    Is my blue ram pregnant?

    Would I need to move them into a separate tank or would they be ok to stay where ever she decides to lay her eggs? Ive ordered a java moss coconut cave so there's additional hiding spots... We have a gold male ram that seems to be looking after her, not sure if they have paired. We bought the...

    Please help - Golden Ram.

    Hi there, Please could I have some additional advice on what to do for my Golden Ram. Im not expecting to save it but I want to try my best. When I woke up this morning I couldn't see our ram. On further inspection I realised that it was stuck between the filter and the bracket that holds...
