ARRRRRG! No photo's today. Just like before, start of day 3 and the eggs hatched. This process was happening as I woke up. Sadly Mum and Dad could not resist the wrigglers. I watched as they were munching on any of the wrigglers that wriggled. I rescued a few of the eggs and wrigglers by doing a...

All right. Thanks for the feedback. I wont move them and see how they go. I snuck into the tank and slid an otto foam filter insert over my ehiem intake today to stop it sucking up any potential babies. There are a lot more fertilized eggs than unfertilised, the distinction is much more visible...

Here are some photo's of the eggs. First batch on the Anubis leaf   The new batch laid last night (sorry its a bit grainy, I didn't want to turn it into a photo shoot. Worried I'd spook them)     Thank you very much to the author of the "how to post pictures using photobucket" thread.

Ok. Good news. The same pair of rams have laid another clutch of eggs. I have raised the temperature a few degrees over the last few days gradually. The temp is now 26 C (+/- 0.5 C as the heater cycles). I also did a water change yesterday.   I am thinking of moving the eggs to a breeding cage...

In relation to moving eggs. How is it best to do it? Also, how fragile are they. Will they tolerate changes in ph/gh? What temperature would the ram's be happier with. They are currently at 25 C. Will higher temp's lead to more successful breeding?  

There Rams are in a community tank with tetra's gourami's and otto's. There is also another female Ram. They did a great job protecting the eggs, but when they have hatched, they must have eaten them or let the get eaten. I was of the understanding that they should also protect the fry...

Hello there all. My Blue Rams had their first spawning. It wasn't a roaring success. I woke up one morning 3 days after the eggs were laid, and they were gone. (most were unfertilised). Cleaning the tank 2 days later I found a baby stuck to the side of the tank. Its been rescued and is doing...

Sadly, I only have room for a 100 L Tank atm, due to living in a very small house. I just set up today a new 60 L tank to use for potential Ram babies or to isolate my very belligerent catfish, who it seems, isn't that afraid of my rams. He has been use to the run of the tank, and the rams...

Hello everyone. I just got back into it after a long break (hard to keep tanks when your on the move). I have just got my first pair of Blue Rams to lay eggs! Very exciting.
