b_ball34 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I woke up today to a big surprise my blue rams spawned for the first time. I've never kept rams before but I wanted to try my hand a breeding them. When I bought them they were smaller than I thought they would be and I thought it would be a few months before they were ready to spawn guess I was wrong. I have a vinegar eel culture ready to go once they start eating. I know rams usually eat eggs the first few spawns so im wondering if I should pull the eggs or leave them in with the parents? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_ball34 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 No idea I got my pair at my LFS, im using deans setup with a few changes mainly adding substrate and planting it up. The female is like 3/4s the size of the male and the male is like 1 1/2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may take a few failed attempts like that though, from what I have read and heard. I’m sure they’ll spawn again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
