Blue ram layed eggs

[puffhead]

hi, is it normal for blue rams to lay eggs without a male?? as i have two females (both got pink bellys) in a 20gal and they both made pits in the sand and one is full of eggs any help would be appreciated

yes its normal if they didnt lay they would become egg bound

better her lay them than explode! completely normal and she, or other fish, will eat them

ohh ok they take turns fanning the eggs maybe they think they will hatch thanks everyone

I'm guessing its normal, because my midas did the same thing, haha. She protected the eggs until they became covered in fungus, then ate them
