How Do I Know If My Blue Rams Have Paired?

[babybell911]

I've had two rams for a while and I'm pretty definate they boy and girl. They don't fight all that much and when the male goes to the female she puts her top fin down and sort of leans to the side. Sometimes he chases her and other times they follow each other around. How do i know if they've paired what are the signs?

The only 100% sure way to know that they have paired is they mate...ie the female lays eggs (which she may do even if they are not a pair..or even sometimes when she is alone in the tank by herself!) and then the male fertilizes the eggs. you will know if they are fertilized as most of them will become yellowish in tint. The white eggs are unfertilized and will not grow and hatch.
