Hi,

So sad, came back frm school at 6pm todae 29`9`02.

hi trevor

dont be too hard on yourself as unexplain fish disorder do surface after seemingly a good purchase from the LFS. it may have sustain injury and damaged the swimming bladder or it is genetically weak. Overfeeding could also be one of the causes.

when you mention a pinch of salt....how much is it....for salt to be effective, the minimum amount would be 1tbsp to 5 gallons of water.

if its any consolation, rams in my opinion (experience actually) are hard to keep......just dont have the knack for them...sent quite afew to fishy heaven[]

Hi,

Well, i hope it goes in peace like from natural causes la. If not i`ll feel kinda guilty. 1 thing for sure is i didn't over feed.

Hmmmm, 1 pinch is like some granules of this width __ and some small wans. A pinch meanin like 3 or 4 of those i mentioned and some small wans.

Yea, Rams are not easy to keep for newbies like me. Hope my apisto that is coming soon wont have this mishap. So i would appreaciate all the advice i have.

Cheers and may all fish RIP.
