Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I got a ram cichlid yesterday without putting much time into studying them. I live in a small town, so I went to the nearest city to buy a fish. I ended up with some type of ram. He is very beautiful, but I can't find any pictures of fish that look like him. At first he hid behind a peice of wood, but now he is moving around a bit and seems to be adjusting a little, but I can't get him to eat. I read that they wont eat flake food when in a new tank. I'm going to get some frozen bloodworms tomorrow, but I have 6 neons, and they are agressive eaters. I'm afraid he won't get to any. I would like some info on ram eating habits. Do they eat off the top or bottom? Does anyone have any advice on how to get the food past the neons?
