I have a 75 gallon community tank and ten or so days ago, I added two adult German Blue Rams(2 to 2.5"). They seemed to get along great up to now. They were bought as a pair and so I assumed were male/female but tonight when I got home, the less dominate one was up in the corner of the tank, pale and with slightly tattered fins. Looked like he had his but kicked. I now think they are both males. I have read up, on this and other sites and they both appear to be males. The dominant fish is in perfect shape with great color and fins so I assume he was the aggressor. Occassionaly he goes after the larger black skirts or the gold barbs but not with alot of determination.
I removed the damaged fish and placed it in the only other tank I have cycled at the moment which is an Eclipse 6. His color has returned some.
Is this Eclipse tank to small to keep a single RAM? Should I be keeping a single male RAM in my 75?
Not really sure what to do. I would rather they both be in the 75. I thought there was plenty of space and hidding places but perhaps the tank is too busy for two of them??
Thanks
