Cath Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 It must be the time for fish breeding. My blue rams were busy cleaning the surface of a rock yesterday and today they have a clutch of about 80 eggs. They are busy taking turns to guard it. I don't actually expect any of them to survive as they've done it in my community tank - I am busy setting up a breeding tank for next time, but you never know. Has anyone else had success with the rams actually raising their fry in a community tank? The tank is heavily planted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 My barbs all went berserk yesterday. Can only put it down to Christmas excitement or a sudden change in barometric pressure 8) Good luck with the rams. I haven't kept or bred them myself. What other fish are in with them and what size is the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cath Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi Caryl, the tank is 80cm x40 x 40 I don't know what that converts to in litres. I have 5 Pearl danios and 5 long finned zebras, 11 neons, 9 glowlights, 2 bristle nose, 3 julii cats, 2 panda cats, 3 rams (2 males 1 females) 2 flying foxes and I think that's all Gee it sounds like a lot for the tank doesn't it, but they've been in this set up for around 5 months so far with no problems. They all live very happily together, the tank is heavily planted and has lots of rocks and caves. I'm getting a 40 x40 cube made to breed fish in, I think this will be fun, I'll plant it out too and have it as little holiday house for romance for the fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
