oeminx Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 Heres the photos of my female and male blue rams. They have spawned twice now held onces... Male Male & Female Male Male Quote
Heir Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 They look amazing! What's their Latin name ? Quote
MarkLB Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 What's their Latin name ? Microgeophagus ramirezi Quote
oeminx Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Posted April 4, 2008 Thank you Heir i love these little guys Quote
oeminx Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Posted April 4, 2008 I mean that the eggs hatched and didn't get eaten by the parents, young blue rams are very bad parents. the second time was my fault i was not ready for them and the fry properly starved to death. Quote
Adrienne Posted April 4, 2008 Report Posted April 4, 2008 did you manage to raise any of the young? Quote
oeminx Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 i got them free swimming but then the ether they staved or got eaten in the community tank. next time they spawn it will be in there own tank. Quote
Heir Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 I showed my flatmate your pics and then we went around all the fish shops, found some and now he's going to buy a tank just to keep some! haha. He also wants to know if they can be kept with Siamese fighters? Quote
Guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 I had my gold rams and my blue rams with my male siamese fighter and he got nipped I'm not sure if the gold rams or the blue rams nipped him. Quote
oeminx Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Posted April 5, 2008 im not sure but my guess would be that the fighter will get nipped. Quote
Heir Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 hmmm well he'll just have to decide which he likes better! Quote
David R Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Fighters are probably easier to keep if he's not very experienced. Quote
Luke* Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 WOW great shots.....those fish are absolutely stunning examples.... get those fry going! get some green water. Quote
Heir Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Fighters are probably easier to keep if he's not very experienced. he used to breed fighters Quote
Nana Luke Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 They are gorgeous wee fish! a very fine example. I wonder if they would go OK in my little tank. Quote
JK Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 yeah great quality fish. they look awesome! Quote
oeminx Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Posted April 10, 2008 Thank you all for the complements. its looking like they'll spawn in the next few days so fingers crossed. Quote
Raven1 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Wow, what stunning specimens. I have always loved rams, so have purchased my first couple of golden rams today. I hope I will be successful in keeping them. :lol: Quote
oeminx Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 Are the normal gold or balloon gold rams Quote
Dixon1990 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I saw some golden balloons today selling as normal goldens at animates, they know nothing. At the same time i saw one of the guys working there sell a bright blue cobalt blue Gourami as a female. :-? Quote
Guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I prefer the balloon ones to the normal ones and I agree Animates k now nothing. Quote
oeminx Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 ok, the animate that i go to from time to time is normal good but then it depends on which staff member you talk to, the only problem i have with animates is the pricers of there stock. Quote
Dixon1990 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Why the would you prefer the balloons? They are just a mutated/deformed inbred strain of the normals and i dont think they look that great either, i have some but they dont look very nice and they arent getting along with my fish. Quote
