Ram Breeding Help

[Waterbox]

I have 4 German Rams, and I think 2 of them are pairing together. They both have really bright colors, while the other 2 Rams do not, and they chase the other Rams, but do not really ever chase each other.

I have 6 Rummy Nose Tetras, 1 Dwarf Gourami, and 4 Rams in a 4 ft. 55 gallon. Will the pair lay eggs with the other Rams and fish in the tank, or do they need to be alone? I would move the pair into my 10 Gal. but I don't have anywhere to put it right now.

There is a good chance that your other fish may eat the eggs. Rams sometimes lay their eggs out in the open on a flat surface such as bogwood, slate etc. so they are more exposed to other fish.
