Can a blue ram be ok in pH 7.5 and gh 4, Kh 71

Do you have nerite snails in the tank? Looks like their eggs. They won't hatch in freshwater.

Scarlet badis, I thought I had a male and female and bought them as a pair but a post from January led me to think it was two males. Now they have matured some more and I want to see what you think. The larger one is significantly paler but still has the blue on the fins. They are always...

So one of my guppy/endler hybrids is acting strange. He was swimming very slow and hanging out on the gravel. He is now swimming at top but still slow and kinda hanging his tail lower, so not horizontal. His gills look a little flared and he I really red around the mouth. Water params are all 0...

My 2 yr old fed our fish cheezits, we had a very fat Platy and murky water but otherwise no harm.

Actually the big tank is his, but he has dwarf gouramis and a Raphael cat that I'm afraid will eat the shrimp. I didn't care when I thought it was a weak batch but I feel awful putting them in there now.

so I had added 5 red cherries to the tank and I know 3 died, I saw bodies. at least one died after molting and I think the second did as well. so I decided to try again. I added 2 red cherry and 2 fire. they started to go missing and I figured they too had died. only had 2 cherry and 1 fire left...

hahahaha

I actually pulled it out of the tank when he was done, not hair. So gross!

This can't be normal

I think low GH can cause the shells to erode, not enough calcium in the water. I added cuttle bone to my tanks to help that. Hopefully someone with more experience will answer.

Hahahahaha

They are so calm in fact that I was able to take pics with my phone that weren't completely blurry

I think I found my answer. I added 2 more odd ball endler males so now it's 3 on 3. they are still displaying but no longer chasing and the attention is spread out so the single odd ball is not being singled out. The tank looks a lot less frantic now and I have more color in the tank :)

Yeah, it's weird how blue they looked in m pic because they aren't really blue at all, mostly that orange/red color. Good luck and I hope you do well with him, they are awesome little fish :)
