Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / December 2004feeding blue rams
just got two blue rams and am having a hard time getting them to eat as the rest are, is there a natrual food source that they would relish ? 55 gallon heavily planted ph 6.5 nitrites and nitrates not enought to worry about zero ammonia any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Try freeze dried bloodworms (aka red grubs). German Rams are omnivores and like some "meat" in their diet. I feed mine dried bloodworms quite regularly and they've done quite well by spawning, etc. > just got two blue rams and am having a hard time getting them to eat as the > rest are, is there a natrual food source that they would relish ?

Try a small quantity of frozen brine shrimp or frozen bloodworms. Rams can be shy, so if there is too much activity in the tank, you might want to use diversionary tactics (dry food to one front corner of the tank for the other fish, and drop the frozen food into the back where the Rams are hiding in a planted area). hth Signaturewww.NetMax.tk |
