It's been years since I've been back to this forum, but this is where it all started. I had previously been into freshwater tropical and Discus. I later moved and had to break down all my tanks. After a few years away from the hobby, I entered back into the hobby in a big way... I decided to...

About 3 months ago I set up a 7 gallon heavily planted w/ driftwood Blue Ram Breeding tank. I found a Mom and Pop LFS in San Francisco with the best Rams I've seen around anywhere. I decided to try a pair out. After 3 attempts at the pair laying eggs, they finally got it right on the 4th...

Hello everyone - I just recently set up a 7 gal mini-bow heavily planted tank. I'm running a Penguin 125 bio-wheel filter without the bio-wheel. I have 14 watts of lighting on the tank yielding about 2 watts per gallon. My only fish in the tank are a pair of German Blue Rams. I just recently...

Finally found some excellent German Blue Rams out in San Francisco recommended by some people at my LFS I frequent often. It is unbelievable... His rams were 3 1/2 inches long and extremely colorful!!! The body shapes are also different from any other rams I'd seen at all the other stores in...

On 2/16/2004 I added two females to my tank. About a week ago I added a male. Ever since the addition of the male, the females have colored up trememdously. I'd love to see a pair form. These fish are true gems. See pic below.

Hello all, I just recently added a couple German Blues yesterday and decided to test my pH. It turns out my pH levels are around 7.6 - 7.8 and my gH is at about 5. I've read that Rams thrive at lower pH levels and I'm worried that mine are going to suffer from the high pH. I've also read...

Hello all, I just picked up a pair of "German Rams" from my LFS. The owner said that these two Rams will eventually develop the same coloration that the two larger rams in his show tank had. The two Rams he had in his show tank were very bright with color on the tips of the dorsal fins and...

I have two Gourami's in my community tank. All of my fish seem to be very peaceful except for 1 of my Gourami's. He tends to occasionally go after my other female Gourami quite a bit and just seems to have an aggressive nature about him. He has seemed to calm down a bit recently and does not...

I just uploaded some new pics of my fully stocked tank. I'm actually considering adding a school of Rummynose and that would be all. Click the link below to check out my pics. http://mjchen54.home.comcast.net/

Hello all, I am new to the hobby and the board. I recently purchased a 36g corner bowfront tank with a Rena XP2 canister filter. I have been to my LFS and have had mixed opinions on what to stock it with. So, I've come here to ask your advice. I'm planning on stocking with the following: 2...
