Rams

Post by Ltrepeter2000 »

Noticed this morning before I left for work that my Rams had laid eggs in the 40g. If they are still there tonight I will try to get a shot. They used an anubias leaf. Too many mouths in the tank to hope that they make it though. maybe after the move I will be able to set them up in a separate tank.

haha.. synchronicity! Their brother and sister laid eggs yesterday as well in my 75. I think, however that the eggs got eaten sometime last night as I did not see them this morning.

I also got some new rams from Scales last weekend. I'm planning on getting my breeding operation back up to speed this spring.

Cut the leaf and put in another tank. If you don't have space bring them over to my place - I have a couple spare tanks cycled.

Awesome. They're probably hatching as I write this.

FWIW, the ones I purchased from Scales three weeks ago just laid eggs in the little 10-gallon tank I have set aside as a "honeymoon suite". I just put 2ml of hydrogen peroxide in to keep the eggs from fungussing. We'll see how it goes.
