Re: [GSAS-Member] Need advice about my Gold Rams

[HIRO TAK <neon98102@yahoo.com>]

  Thanks for the advice Linda,

  But he looks not good.  He was not eating much and now he is as white as 
ghost. He also have tougher time to swim.  
  I had been keeping the tank around 80F.  I did crank it up and hope it makes 
difference.  But he does not look good.  And I have no idea what cause it.  
  I don't think he'll make it either I move it or not.  And doing so and I 
don't want to disturb the female too much either.  I hope he left some off 
springs.  Although he is way too young to die but he seems to heading to the 
water in the sky.  
  I just hope some eggs will hatch and he is not dying for vain.
  Although some of the eggs are getting too milky white, I am hoping the some 
of the clearer eggs will develop and hatch.

  I think she will be a widow and have to find another husband.  
Sometime I wish the fish can talk and tell me what is wrong with them.

  Thanks again for the help Linda.

You might increase the temp some also Rams like it warm - 82-84 even....
They are annoyingly fragile though.
Good Luck!
