Re: [AGA Member] Ram Problems (again)



I agree with ROE.  I did have a saltwater tang (1988+-) with similar problems.  Large healty fish.  I actually perferated the edge of the eye to release the pressure.  It did just fine.  I read this in some medication book at that time.  
I would just leave the Ram alone and encourage feeding in any way.

leave it alone.ie unmedicated. Ive had similar problems with rams and it
seems to be thru localised injury rather than water quality etc.took about 1
month for eye to go down but otherwise appetite and behaviour
was normal

ps we cant get amano shrimps in new zealand but had similar results with
local variety when rams were spawning (ALL GONE)

Subject: [AGA Member] Ram Problems (again)


Sorry for bringing this none plant issue to this group...
My Rams saga continues ;-)
My 100gallon planted tank with cardinals and 20 Amano shrimps.
Week ago introducing 8 Rams -> Amano shrimps are missing.
Today - One dead Ram and another one infected with bubble-eye. - Removed to
isolation.
Other Rams are happy as it seems for now - no other stress signs observed.
I know that this is caused by the build up of toxic gases that enter the eye
shell, but my water are fine with normal readings of all parameters.
Is there a way to treat this. (Only once I was able to cure one fish with an
5% Argyrol solution - but I think it is an old remedy these days.
Suggestions ???
