How old are they / where are they when most of them die?
Leaves,fry,fish????
So a couple sets of eggs and one has poor hatch rate?
Will see on other 2?
Moved #1 Jhawk pair into 40b with the other Jhawks to make room for incoming fish.
I fear #1 female and another are all done!
#1 started to sit on bottom last week when IMO she should have been developing eggs!
Another female was also already starting this hangin/sitting behavior in the other 40b(where they all are now).
I have seen this before with my own GBR(aprox3% or 6 out of 200) and although they don't necessarily die(50/50) they NEVER recover....
Sorta sad on this myself
I have researched this for over a year and best guess out there is flukes?
I have previously done a month long Prazi treatment program that showed no effect or improvement.
This is truly a ram mystery(a quote from one link!!).
Any help on this is appreciated!!
I am going to install sand I believe(very thin) as I think this is similar to bacteria issue with cories also.
One link I found basically said in general ram care that sand is way more important then many understand.
I think I am kind of leaning in this direction as I have no other clue nor does it effect all fish(not contagious at all IMO/IME{years}).
The flukes symptoms are almost 100% match except the survival rate and lack of spread to others???
I might even be willing to bite that sand passing through fish gills could prevent this if it is flukes or whatever???
So can I use 0000 sugar sand if I find some??
I'm not sure if this grain is intended for marine only?
I think I will even try this in fry tank/s??
but no dummy?
) and can only watch or try 'far fetched' ideas??
