Thanks Ade,
I am glad to hear that you think it maybe natural causes, as in old age, although I have kept Bolivians in the past and seems they lived a bit longer. Maybe the fact that I added a very active baby Koi Angel to the tank just stressed him too much as well. Never had an Angel this...
Aloha all, I cannot see any other cause of death to my guy??? His color was good, eating but preferred baby snails and cory fry that are hatching constantly..........had recently added ram snails as he was keeping my bladder snails so in ck I needed more fsnails for some of my Anubis leaves. He...
Update for the Bolivian Ram :) Ok, I recently introduced a 2 1/2 " Koi Angel to the tank. The Ram is now guarding the Panda cories as if they were his fry lol. The first few days in the tank he and the Angel kinda tested each other, they have worked out their relationship. The Angel was smart...
Aloha all, I have a male Bolivian Ram in a 40B planted community tank, he is the only Ram. He is now getting close to two years old, got him as a fry. I had tried pairing him with a few females but none seemed to make him happy lol. So he is alone and seemed content. BUT now this past few months...
Aloha all,
has anyone else had this happen? My male Bolivian Ram dug a cozy nest in one corner and stays there more than not. He does follow the Panda corys around while they are spawning and they hang with him like he is their mom. Everything in the 20L is spawning, I think he is ready and just...
Friend just sent me these pics from her Discus 29 T, I will try to forward to here, she said feels smooth and substrate is sand. Thanks in advance :) Nuimom
Gerald you are spot on, I just did a gravel / wc and have lots of tiny Panda Cory fry, saved as many as I could,, but most will be fish food as we know anyway. Somehow some seem to survive. Thanks for your input, Laura
Why, because they are eating all the fresh new eggs and possibly fry :) lol. must be, but didn't much eating activity til yesterday, a pick here and there was all.
I saw yesterday they are defining territories too and the dominant male has taken a coconut hut to use as a sentry post, it has...
Update. just spoke with the fish shop, he didn't think they were wild caught and the ones in store are eating flakes. I think there may just be too much co-motion for them in my tank with everything spawning, if they have been farm raised and only with their own kind. Think this will just be an...
I have offered newly hatched BBS but they don't want to chase them or even seem interested. I do see they tast frozen blood worms, but I get the impression they feel the same way about frozen food as I do.
I will hope this is just a leaning curve for them and I'll keep trying. Thank you for your...
Think my new Bolivian Rams were wild caught. They have great color and are on the thin side, they do not eat like the rams I have had, they pick here and there, but not very often. I have tried all foods and same response. Everyone else in tank spawning and healthy, so bummed if these are...
Aloha all, well after many spawns I realized that the addition of my panda cories to the tank was not healthy for my female Borellii. The young pair was having the eggs eaten by them so the male was constantly trying to get her to spawn again. He didn't know it takes time to make more eggs to do...
Aloha all, I was just remembering my Rams liked warmer 80+ water, temp. I have my borelli at 77-78 they will get a bit warmer than that in summer here, but this cooler temp may not be good for the Ram as I recall. I will have 80 in summer but winter may stress them. Has anyone had good luck with...
Aloha, my two young borelli seem to have their own thing worked out in my 20 long planted tank. I have 5 coconut huts with windows and doors and there are lots of plants for a lot of sight breaking in tank. They seem to do a weird courtship behavior, but maybe they are just hoping for a woman in...
Aloha, no worries on maintenance lol I am on overdrive when it comes to water quality :)
Do 7 gallon water changes daily, and watch feeding, that is the hardest for me, love to see um eat. especially live food!.Hatch out Brine Shrimp.
Someone told me I don't need my filter with all that I have...
