I just notice my rams defending area in my 75 gallon, i thought they had spawned again, they have been laying eggs 3 times in the last 2 months, but no fry.

So I assumed it was happening again, but then I see something moving between them, closer look it is fry.

I will give you quick count.............. Roughly 30 or so!

It is amazing as they try to swim off, the mom sucks them up in mouth spits them back out near the group.

Question what should I do?

I have 10 gallon with 3 livebearers, should I move them in 75 and put fry and parents in there, or just leave them in 75.

How should I feed, matter fact what should I feed them.

Also, I have a real busy day, will they be able to protect them til tomorrow, if I have to move them
 
The parents should look after them quite well for a while...

...but before you do anything you need to decide what you want to do long term with 30+ rams.... :/

Well I was in the market for a new tank, I was thinking about raising them in there and give them aways as they mature. Rams from what i read is a challenge to breed, I feel they all deserve a chance to survive.

Very proud of my self right now, well of my tank anyway, but I maintain my tank, so yea of myself :rofl: :rofl:
