I would definately do much more frequent waterchanges. We find that waterchanges help a lot of issues when fish are sick. For us it tends to lower the chance of parasites/bacteria being numerous enough in the water to harm the fish while it is weak, as well as sometimes getting the problem to lessen or go away. Not saying it will cure your fish, but am saying 50% waterchanges every couple of days for a week or two couldn't hurt.

Are there any other fish in the tank? Are they also showing symptoms of being sick? If so, I would try to find if anything links the sickness together between your fish. If it's just the ram, you could always try isolating him by moving him to a separate tank. If you do move him, make sure the tank he is going into has very similar water parameters, and make sure the temperature also matches!!!

Good luck!!!!
