wino Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have a pair of Bolivian rams - at least I hope they are a pair, one has more pointy fins and is a bit brighter coloured than the other one which has a rounder belly... have I got the sexing right? Anyway yesterday and today they seem to think they are a pair, they are in good colour and are seeing all intruders off a corner of the tank, I can't see any eggs as yet. It's a planted tank with lots of bogwood, do they need anything else to do their thing (flowerpot or anything) or will they sort it out themselves? I feel the need to get the second tank out and up and running.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 From what I have read on this site, most people give their cichlids a spawning cave of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 a rock or a ceramic pot will do nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 My Bolivian Rams bred in pits they made in the gravel and ignored pots and rocks. From what this website says they could do any of the above. If they've staked out a territory already it's best to wait and see as they've prolly already picked a spawning site and adding something to that corner will freak them out. Feel free to add rocks and pots to anywhere else in the tank, tho, they might move to it if they fancy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigMcN Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Mine spawned on a flat rock (after they'd spent a few days cleaning it), so it seems they're quite varied in where they're happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wino Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks. I'll leave them to it and see what they do then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
