I would suggest you read up at The Krib on Apisto's in general. Find a
good article about new fish acclimation.....the drip method or
whatever...and get a TDS/conductivity meter and use it a lot. Look up
Osmotic Shock, which is probably what occurred somewhere........to the
fish....

Oh the ammonia level and nitrite level are ok.... The discus were
removed
to another tank just as I brought in the Rams.
Surprisingly I've found 2 that look ok this morning.... the rams are
about
1.5 Inch long.

whats the ammonia level and nitrite level? is the tank newly set
up? how
big are the discus and how big were the rams? you could have
overstocked,
or
perhaps the discus killed em.

Last Saturday I bought 8 Rams (Apistogramma ramirezi), they were
all
introduced to a 30 gallon planted tank, which was till the
occupied by
two
Discus which were happy in it.
The tank has a PH of 7.2 and water are medium to hard. Temperature
of
about
29-30 C.
They looked very good at the first two days and you could see the
males
starting to be a bit rough on each other and the fist looked
pretty
colorful.
As from Monday they start dying on me!!! 7 dead (last one today)
and
there
is only one left......
I have no idea what went wrong.
Please HELP.
