My New German Blue Rams, Whats Going On?

[bagu]

GUYS please help me

Now please remember I had the best intentions...

I hadn't seen the female sinse my last post, so I had a look around, she had darkened and seemed to be hiding from the male, the male saw her and for around 10 seconds he chased her, until she hid away.
After a little while later, I saw her looking dead like wedged in my plant, I waited a few mins and saw nothing I panicked, grabbed a tube and moved it near her; nothing. I moved it closer, and stroked her with it, she slowly swam away, when I done it to the male, he swam away quickly the minute he saw it =\, I felt panicked, and came back before I went to sleep, and saw her at thentop of my UGF extractio pipe, not moving at all, I got the pipe, and she didn't move at all, she then swam down where the male chased her again; I've left it there and will see what is happening tommorrow.

I'm upset, worried and panicked...

hes trying to prove to her that hes a good match and hes able to look after himself, but as i said earlier, theyre hopeless at getting it right first time. if any physical injuries occur, separate them

add another female...his attention might be too much for her to handle alone! Stressed fish = sick fish and sick fish = dead fish...

just my two cents!

Bagu can you post some pictures of this pair, from what you are saying I am not convinced you have male and female. Some pictures would help.

update, and not good

One of the rams (the bully) has fallen very very ill, and treatment hasn't worked on him, but all the other fishes are fine =( I think he will be gone to fishy heaven tommorrow, man i am very upset The other ram that was victim to bullying (i now think she is an immature female, and the fin doesn't go past her tail joint, and no pink belly yet, but the other signs are pointing to female imo) AND I PROMISE A PICCY OF HER TOMMORROW!

It's actually really wierd though, the Ram that was bullied imo would've fallen ill, instead it's the other way round =/. But the Ram that is alive has such a charm i walk in the room and she will come and swim around almost as if to watch me! and will surface up when i put my finger in the water

I hope the ram rest's in peace poor fish
