New Ram

[Swampman]

Does anyone have these colorful Rams in there collection? I just purchased them. They are named Veil Tale Ram Thanks

 

[Delapool]

Very expensive?

Still a Baloon ram. No such thing as veil tail. There are wild caught rams, German blue rams, electric blue ram and gold rams. Throw long finned or Baloon in front and that's what you have if you have them.

All the following are variations of the German Blue Ram: Electric, gold, balloon, veil tail, etc. And, the German Blue Ram is the tank raised name for the Blue Rams. All the same fish. Yet I have read that the Balloons are the least healthy of them all.

Here is an image of 3 out of 4 of mine from last night:

I am curious to know how could you have possibly deciphered that.

This was mine a week before he died. Once they've taken to the bottom, propped up on fins... not good..

Yikes, crossing off the list. Tetras already seem to hate me.

 

[chykityta]

Then mine is not dying. Mine has done that for months now. He does swim around too. Notice how there is a cholla wood above him that also limits his space. IDK.

Everything is dying, some faster than others I suppose...

That sounds sad. Have you medicated that tank? Maybe consider taking it down and sterilize everything in it before restarting?

Now why would I take down an entire tank for the death of one ram? The 10 green neons, 10 rummy nose tetras, 2 amano shrimp and 4 khulis loaches were unphased.

You said...

That is worrisome! But of course, it is your tank and I am sure you will do what you feel is best. Only you know what is going on in your tank.

Lol. He was explaining that everything will die one day, the ram unfortunately died earlier than the others. No fish/species can live forever no matter how well you take care of it.

 

[Brookster123]

But rams usually die sooner/faster than most. And Baloon rams does even faster than the other rams that die fast anyways is my point

I have 4 male German Blue Rams in my tank. None of them are as colorful as the ones that chykityta's. I love these fish. I had a couple of Electric Blues that were beautiful, but they only lasted 2 weeks.
I have one GBR that is well over two years old.
