Why am I having such a hard time getting my gold rams and EBRs past the fifth day free swimming? I can raise regular rams with my eyes closed. Is there anything different? The pairs breed on a regular basis. I keep the fry in there until the third day they are free swimming and then remove them in a plastic container w/air stone, water from their tank and lots of java moss also from their tank. Everyday I change out their water (50%) from their tank and the java moss. I also get "juice" from the sponge filter from their birth tank.
I know water parameters are not ideal...pH 6.9, everything else checks out neutral to slightly soft and acidic. No nitrits or nitrates, but regular rams are doing great.
Arrrrrrrrg.....can anyone give me a suggestions or a new approach altogether?
Thanks
