Hello Everyone,
I've just ordered 3 German Blue Rams from a private breeder off of EBay. They seem to be very responsible breeders and emphasized that their fish are NOT hormone injected. They also had quite a lengthy write up about their breeding methodology and care of GBRs.
I know that I've read on here and other websites that GBRs are difficult to keep. The breeders said that the water needs to be at 82 degrees minimum. That's my concern. My tank is at a steady 80 degrees. I'm not worried about anything else regarding the quality of the environment that I'll be putting them into, but I wonder if that 2 degree difference in the water is going to be a problem. If I raise the temperature, what about my other fish?
Angels, Rasboras, Danios, Tetras...
Wish me luck-Thanks,
D
