My Rams Spawned!!!

[fish_r_great]

They are great parents although there isn't really a threatening fish in the tank with them. Any advice? AmberC?

My advice to anyone here who would like to really save the babies,is to isolate the parents,so the only problem they have to deal with are the babies.
If this is the first time,I assure you they won't survive.Simply 'cause parents need to go through this for about three times before they know what to do and not to eat their own.
So,be patient,keep the rams by themselves and make sure you have food for the babies.Whether is liquid baby food or frozen baby daphnia,or baby brine shrimp.

They spawned again 4 days afterward and this time they got it right it doesn't seem that any of the babies died there are 50+ now they are sorta swimming its been 2 days since they hatched!!!

Congratulations on the offspring. My blue rams are breeding again as we speak, just my waters is too hard for the eggs to hatch. But i'm kind glad they don't b/c i have fertile rams who lays eggs every week so I would be over stocked in no time.

Fish, what are the water parameters in the Ram tank? I'm hoping to get a pair to start breeding also!

They actually wont lay anymore eggs until the babies are full grown or taken away

If my rams were to breed, some of the babies would stay with me in my community tank and the others would go to the lfs for store credit.
