Electric Blue Ram Fry

[Samuran]

So after try number 3 my pair of Electric Blue Rams (as in first two clutches(??) of eggs didnt hatch) now have fry!
Any tips?? D
One thing I hadn't read / didn't expect is that the wrigglers aren't in the same place as the eggs were laid...

I love Rams and yours must be doing really well to breed so well done

Thanks simonas
I love Ram's too! I've had to remove the female from the breeding tank today, as the male was beating her up pretty badly...
Anyone got any advice please?
Cheers

Ive had that with Rams before and the male batterered her to death,The welfare of the parent fish is paramount to you so youve probably done the right thing

You are very lucky. my lfs got some in so after payday i went to buy a pair but it turned out to be two males. and now my lfs cant get any in anymore lol

Yeah, this is the fist fry I've tried to raise since I used to breed Gourami's and sell them to a LFS when I was a kid. Didnt really get back into all this about 6 months ago In all honesty I wouldnt be surprised if there are only a few fish left once they get to a proper identifiable fish shape so taking the female out means at least I, and they, can try again.

I spend so much time staring at the Rams in my LFS I've got quite good at sexing them in store, they pretty much have 40 or so in 2 tanks every time I go in

Me too! They're ace!
Thank you!

I love their attitude and how they love to show off that dorsal fin!

Also loved watching them move the fry around the tank before they were free swimming
