DubbieBoy Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Hi y'all, I'd love to get my beautiful blue rams to spawn, my angels lay rings around themselves constantly so I figure conditions must be close. (I think) I just haven't been able to procure any females; just showy males who are happy to spar off each other and show off their colours belligerently. Is there a general dearth of girl rams in those that come through the lfs? Are there any south island breeders out there who could supply me with a couple of ram-inas? Aren't these just the most beautiful of fish??? - Dubb in Dunedin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 This is a little interesting. the same thing can happen to a couple of my killifish species I breed, the reason is temp. low 20's only males, high 20's only females. What temp are you breeding your rams at ? I've heard that 30C is the best temp to breed them. Although I have breed Rams at 26C.( I no longer keep Rams ) Sorry Dubb, I don't think there the MOST beautiful fish, but they are little beauties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbieBoy Posted September 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Sadly, I'm not breeding 'em at all :-? It takes two to tango... How about, they're one of the most beautiful fish :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbieBoy Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Well who'da thunk it... A trip to the LFS over the weekend and I picked up four Rams - three of them have distinctly pink bellies and short dorsal fin rays and the boys, well they took an immediate interest so I'm almost certain I've got three girls. yay They're pretty small still, will have to fatten 'em up some. With many thanks to casserole and MRSKZ for their interest in helping me try and introduce some female rams to the south. - Dubb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
