CJ, Rams can be difficult, especially if they are from Singapore. If I were you I'd read the books, make sure your water quality is up to snuff and try to find some captive bred Apisto. cacatuoides, steindachneri or sp. rotpunkt. You can't go wrong with these, gorgeous fish and tolerant of alkaline conditions. Good luck Steve Waldron >I have recently gotten into Dwarf Cichlids.
