i kept one male gold ram many years ago, they are quite hardy fish (i
was a real novice and they stood all my mistakes)

my guess would be that, as the demand has increased the fishes immune
system has been badly damaged by inbreeding. i wager youll just have got
a bad batch from the LFS.

see if you can get one or two from another source.

Good luck Craig
