Tom_Shannon Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 hey all so im giving breeding blue rams a go, all went well with first try the fry is nearly 3 weeks old and i would say still 80% + left, and the parents have layed again, in the same tank with the young its only about 45L so im taking the babys out tonight, and will leave the parents with the eggs and see how they go. so how many people out there have had there rams or other fish lay eggs while there babys are still in the tank, they are the only ones in the tank.

lmsmith Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Lol, my lumphead cichlids won't stop breeding, after the babies are free swimming for a couple of weeks, they're right back at it. Same with BN, except they lay every 15 days like clockwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 so how many people out there have had there rams or other fish lay eggs while there babys are still in the tank, they are the only ones in the tank. My Royal Whiptails lay every 11 days or so regardless - and now a pair of the youngsters have paired up and laid a brood too, all in the same tank, at the same time. Whiptails everywhere :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Shannon Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 well the baby's are about 8 weeks now. the parents have got another good lot of eggs they have and 2 lots since the first but haven't looked after them and there have only been about 10 this time a good 100 again, so heres hoping another lot like the first.

darkfur Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I think there is meant to be a genetic component to good parents so you will be doing the fishy community a favour by breeding these guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
