I added two German Blue Rams to my community tank 7 days ago. Everything seemed great. For a bit of background info:
125L planted tank, 26 degrees celcius, water stats all good. 5 Yellowtail Rasboras, 3 Male Guppies, 2 Ancistrus, 1 Platy and 4 Amano Shrimp.
The rams seemed to be settling in, especially with the skittish rasboras. But I thought things were going well. They'd hide a fair bit near the plants, but would come out when things were calm. And they were eating a little flake and pecking away at wafers. Yesterday I noticed one had a little damage to it's tail. Either it got damaged by the filter (this is a problem I thought I'd fixed, but maybe not) or could the other ram have done this? Just 10 min ago I found one dead.
The other ram is a little larger, could he have bullied the other? I tried to pick a male and female but there's a good chance I had two males.
Also, what shall I do now? Try and find a female? Keep him in there on his own?
