Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Does anyone have any pointers for keeping blue rams? I have always loved the fish and would like to try breeding a pair but i can't any to last more than 2 weeks in either of my tanks. I have a 10 gallon planted (some valis, crypts, java fern, and anubis), and it is only has light on half the tank (so there is always a dark corner to hide in). I have two small clay planters as caves with notches cut in them, and i am using Peat to bring the PH down a bit and to soften the water. My ph is usually right around 6.8 or 6.6. I can't test hardness right now.
What else can i do to keep Rams happy? I do use tap water ph 7.0 when i do water changes with out any kind of conditioning apart from a chlorine/chloramine treatment.
any pointers would be much appreciated because i just can't keep myself from buying good specimens and i can't seem to keep them alive. both the fish and my wallet need help!
