More help needed with dying Rams

[Drakken]

For those who have helped me so far on my previous thread thank you!

But now I have a new problem. The 2 remaining Rams (1 golden 1 blue) are not eating and are hiding behind the filter tube and heater. Their color looks good but they are "breathing" heavily. They were eating fine up until last night. I fed them bloodworms which they just let float on by right in front of them.

I did about a 15% water change last night and I'll recheck the levels today.

Any ideas on how to help these fish?

draken, if they have no visible signs of a particular disease, then practice good fishkeeping and don't bother them much. when/if you know what's going on, treat them. if not, do NOT add meds. this will likely do more harm than good. what symptoms are you seeing exactly. scratching? not eating?

hth, rick

They are not eating and hiding most of the day. Also, they are breathing heavily.
