feeding blue rams

Try freeze dried bloodworms (aka red grubs). German Rams are omnivores and
like some "meat" in their diet. I feed mine dried bloodworms quite
regularly and they've done quite well by spawning, etc.

While there are safe levels of nitrites, it is still a worry as any level
indicates cycling has not stabilized, and this can have an effect on
their appetite. Try a small quantity of frozen brine shrimp or frozen
bloodworms. Rams can be shy, so if there is too much activity in the
tank, you might want to use diversionary tactics (dry food to one front
corner of the tank for the other fish, and drop the frozen food into the
back where the Rams are hiding in a planted area). hth
