Haha ari, you blanket bomb again. hypersushi, all the dry foods you mention would have all the vitamins they could possibly pack into foods, but it can't replace live foods. Even once a week is beneficial to your fish. I haven't have problems with disease since using live/frozen foods. All my fish fat and active. I feed frozen foods as a staple, live foods as a treat and tetrabits/sera vipachips as a supplement. Frozen foods have gotten a lot more accesible and affordable, so no reason not to feed frozen.

Your ram just the regular ram you get at the shops here? Most probably quite weak adi la. Local rams don't last very long. Could be a result of inbreeding, producing genetically inferior fish.
