So my German Blue Ram has passed away He was so lively!
So here it is... all the parameters are perfect and the tank is cycled. No other fish are showing signs of illness. Including my very egg - full female blue ram. Here are some pictures... I think everything with him looks fine but maybe you guys can see something I cannot.
Now here is what I am thinking... my brand new (3 days now) bristlenose pleco is being a jerk to EVERYONE in the tank that dares come near him. And he happened to take over the perfect egg laying area for my rams... and was flaring up and attacking the rams (only twice in 30 minutes) last night before I went to bed. I also changed up my tank (adding new things like plants and rocks - all boiled clean). Along with some new real plants, 3 shrimp and 6 Koolie loachs.
Could my Bristlenose have killed him? They were both very very territorial and suffered from thinking they were the "big fish" in the tank.
Thanks in advance
