You have no idea how happy this post made me - the fact that you can keep a single ram is amazing! I always flock to them whenever I go to the fish store and really wanted one but wasn't sure if they could be in a community tank, let alone a sorority. Might have to get one now...they are so cool.

Oh I didn't know they handled the medication well. I'm happy to report that she's no longer showing any signs of ick! I think I will keep things the way they are for a little longer to be safe but I'm not as worried now =]

We would like to get a pair too. We found a few stores that sell them like PetSupermarket (maybe you have one around your area?) and Petsmart. They are also sold on aquabid but I'm sure they get a little more expensive plus there's shipping involved... But if you've been wanting a pair since so long it might be worth it! They really are beautiful fishes and from the look of it they are just as nosey/curious as bettas which I love hehe

Rams are actually pretty hardy when it comes to medicating tanks. Its the Ph balance disruptions and ammonia spikes and what not they can't really handle.

I have wanted a pair, since the first time I saw the them, four years ago. But sadly no one around here has them really for sale. Or they would make a lovely addition in my tank.

Thanks!! Well I have to admit I'd pick the sorority over a ram tank because bettas are still the best in my book Right? That's why I was so surprised that she didn't even lose color or anything! Thanks for the good wishes =]

Oh wow she IS beautiful! I've always wanted a pair for my 33 but now that I have my sorority in it, I don't think it will work very well haha.

I'm really glad to hear that she's handling the ick well since rams are usually very sensitive to water chemistry changes and diseases. I hope she lives a good long life with you guys! Give her a wave from me :D
