I have not been having much luck with fish these past few days. 2 days ago, I went to my LFS and got 2 blue rams. Foundone dead the next morning, ok, no big deal was probably just sick, brought it back, exchanged it, woke up this morning, and found my newest one, not looking good. Usually, if any of my fish get sick, I know what to do, but this looks like swim bladder disease to me, he can't stay upright, he just kinda, nose dives, and flips. I'm moving him to another tank, and adding a little melafix, is there anything else I can do?

I think rams are sensitive to water treatments and medications. I know when I first bought 2 blue rams from my lfs they added regular stress reliver to the bag. They looked good and healthy, then the next day they both died and had pink bellys in my Q-tank. The next time I bought two more and told the lfs not to add anything because I read that they were sensative. I've had no problems with the newer ones.
Your lfs could also just have had a bad batch come in. Try another lfs maybe? They're great fish, I hope they work out for you! HTH
