How long have you had them? Rams don't live too long, 2 years is a long time for them. Also, if you haven't had them that long, do you know what the sexes of each of them are? If you have more than one male, it can be hard to keep one from eventually killing the other. Also, I am not very aware of a difference between german rams and blue rams, for I have always seen them labeled, and talked of them, as german blue rams, so who knows!

Hmmm, do you know how old they are?? If you got them all around the same time, that might explain it... If you add some Pottasium Chloride to the water, that would help with the osmotic balance and maybe relieve some stress from him..
