Lost my gbr...

[Pckerfreak44]

Today I walked past my tank and saw my female gbr belly up at the bottom of the tank... Her partner was just staring at her and it broke my heart. I have no idea what happend. Her gills were kind of black but that's all I could really tell.

Sorry about your ram. =(

 

[Pckerfreak44]

Thanks. Only part about fish keeping that I hate...

 

[xwesx1978]

sorry to hear that they are beautiful fish , been wanting a pair myself but their delicacy has kept me away , my two bolivian rams are pretty much bullet proof had them over a year now

 

[Pckerfreak44]

Thanks, I got them almost a year ago. I went to get Bolivian Rama but they didn't have any. So I saw GBRs and thought there was no difference and got em.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have a German Gold Ram that seems to be having a tough time acclimating, I hope he makes it......

T______T

I'm sorry to hear that. I have a German Gold Ram that seems to be having a tough time acclimating, I hope he makes it......

Is he new? Lemme see him

 

[bud29]

yeah, he's new, but he is constantly hiding in the hollow tree stump so I can't get a good picture of him. He is REALLY pretty, though.....he is breathing heavy and won't eat right now, I am hoping this is just due to acclimation and it isn't a sickness......

 

[Pckerfreak44]

Oh I'm sorry. Hope he makes it out alright. I rarely ever see golden rams. I love them

Did either of you check water parameters just to make sure alls well there?
M really sorry to hear your loss and i agree that is the only downside to fishkeeping.

 

[Pckerfreak44]

Yeah I checked them and everything was fine. I have no clue what happend.

 

[Cichlid Kid]

Hopefully your male will pull through.

 

[Pckerfreak44]

Alright, just went to petsmart and petco to see what they have and these are all the south Americans there, tell me if any would work. Red Texas, jack Dempsey, jewel, flower horn, or a birchiridi or something. Never seen it before

 

[xwesx1978]

I know jack dempsey are very aggressive and flower horns get huge , not sure on the other two

 

[Pckerfreak44]

I'm the most interested in firemouths or convicts. If I were to get a 45 would I be able to keep my current stock and get either 2 convicts or 2 firemouths?
