Blue Ram Eggs!

[Loony Fish]

Ok,
so my blue rams laid eggs last night and i don't know what to do with the parents.

MALE= young, noteably smart for a ram, New to eggs

FEMALE= older, not quite as smart as male, 4th batch of eggs (non of her other batches lived as they were eaten by tetras. i have now moved the tetras)

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

forgot to say that the male seems to be taking great care of eggs.

I would personally just leave them with the parents and see how they fair.

Ive always wondered what Ram eggs look like. I have 4GBRs in my 3ft communal tank and there is two pair and neither have ever laid eggs. They would be about 12mths old to. Maybe its not ideal conditions being in with a gourami, one lonely tetra and danio.

They look like small brown eggs, similar to any other fish egg. LOL


How often are you doing water changes? Lots of hiding places? Water stats?

How long should it take them to hatch?
I'm loosing hope!

they'll hatch in about 48 hrs

after they hatch it might look like the parents are eating the fry but if you watch they will spit them out because they are moving them. good luck
