Hello everyone,
In my 40 gallon aquarium I have 5 german blue rams (3 male and 2 female). Things have been great until recently, and I think it has to do with the females being ready to breed.
It seems like two pairs have been formed, leaving one guy without a lady. He has lost some of his color, and the other rams are harassing him a bit, to the point that he is really shy, even when I feed them.
Right now, I have moved the little guy to a 3 gallon aquarium which used to house a betta.
I guess my question is, what do you all think I should do with him? He is a beautiful fish and would HATE to give him away. I have a 12 gallon aquarium at work that he could move to, but it houses 1 ADF, 2 Balloon Mollies, and 2 bumblebee catfish. Should I move him there?
Thanks for any advice. And in research about this, I have learned a lot about rams.
