Hannahbell Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Not sure exactly how long they will last, but I have bought some liquid fry food for them. I bought (by mistake) a breeding pair of Dwarf Rams?? Beautiful blue 'glow' dots, yellow and black markings also. (Pet shop told me they were 3 spot gouramis LOL). Anyway, these little guys started breeding in my community tank. I set up a wee 22 litre tank for them along with two golden algae eaters. They spawned about 100 eggs, and then they all disappeared. I had a look this morning and saw some fry free swimming!! The mum and dad keep picking them up in their mouths and spitting them out (still alive). So I guess time will tell if they survive. If anybody has any tips for me, they would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Do they look like this? As those are blue rams 8) Or do they look different again?? But congrats on getting the fry free swimming! My bluies have just spawned again in my big tank. Gotta remove the eggs today I think, before they get eaten again :roll: lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannahbell Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I counted about 7 Fry last night (pretty hard to because they are all over the place now), but have only seen about 3 today. In saying that, I have seen them hiding amongst the little stones, so there may be even more. I moved one of the algae eaters to my bigger tank as he was pestering the smaller algae eater, but sadly he died . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
