Bishop Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 How many times have they spawned? I am not too experienced but I do know it does take them a while to get the hang of it and they do eat the ones that are not fertilised or have fungus. ( I assume this is to stop the fungus spreading ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Blue rams are notoriously bad parents (google it) it is believed that all the years of inbreeding and being mass produced (probably artificially raised and power fed on god knows what) has pretty much removed the parenting traits from them. You do occasionally luck upon a pair that are good parents, or you can get better quality (true) German blue rams that are more likely to be better parents, there were some of them floating around a few years ago.
