I have a 6 gallon with a male and female blue ram. I have one big thing of drift wood and green rock. She layed her eggs and the male stood gaurd over them then he ate them. There are still many left but I put the blue rams in a breeder so the eggs might have a fighting chance. Help would be great about now! lol thanks :good:
 
Move the eggs into a seperate tank or container and have an airstone bubbling away near the eggs but not too close. You don't want the bubbles touching them. Keep the eggs under water when moving them. In a few days they will hatch and a few more days they will start swimming around. Then you start feeding them on newly hatched brineshrimp and microworms.
Most cichlids eat their first few batches of eggs. Then over time they settle down and start to look after them. They need to learn how to be parents.
