Good Luck with the breeding, neat challenge

Yeah ive tried several times, I even had free swimming fry one time.. But always lost the parents always the same way no matter what I did regarding water changes etc.

ooo so are they realy hard fish to look after

I didn't think they would be maybe i just got bad ones.. But they looked fine when i got them I did plenty of water changes the last pair I had died when they were in the same tank as discus and the discus are fine so who knows! Wasn't water conditions if the discus are ok and they had heaps of water changes.

Some people have luck and some people don't.. my mum has rams in her tank that have been there for donkeys.. I used to keep them in a planted tank and had luck with them also.. mine even spawned but I didn't do anything with the eggs... and they got eaten.. We ran peat through the external filter in a stocking and the water softened...

Rams are an easy fish to keep, as long as you get good quality ones. I had no problem with mine at all, they bred happily and did a great job at being parents too . Unfortunately we have some very poor quality rams about which is a shame, especially those balloon ones

They are a great fish, and a nice, colourful addition to any tank

yea the guy at orginisum(sp) is going to email me when they pair off

Will a pair of my blue rams spawned on Saturday evening in my community tank, I expected to wake up Sunday morning to no eggs - but they are still there with both parents taking turns to guard and fan eggs.

will have to see what happens.

yeah your rams are awesome Karen, make sure you save me some if they get to free swimming
