Billaney Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hi I have a really nice pair of Golden Rams they have layed eggs 3 times now but never got to the wriggler stage either through fungused eggs or the parents eating the eggs. Tonight they have layed again with a huge grouping of eggs on a stone they like to use. In an attept to rase some to adulthood I've then them complete with stone and moved them ( eggs on the stone ) to another tank with some met-blue and a gentle current flowing over them. Time will tell if i did right or if i should have left them. What do you guys think ? i never like to interfear unless i have too :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 It works with lots of cichlids, so good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 How did it work out with the Blue Rams? Figure the Goldens would turn out the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 How did it work out with the Blue Rams? Figure the Goldens would turn out the same... lost a lot to fungus ( did not know they would still fungus once they were at wriggler stage ) but stil have about 15-20 wrigglers that had moved away from the main bunch , this is my best result so far with Rams.

alanmin4304 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Methylene blue will help stop the fungus spreading. can add a bit of malachite and acraflavine as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Still looking good this morning no sign of any fungus , there is Methylene blue in the tank and the little blue Rams that hatched early in the week are still cool too , so all looking good so far fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I had some blue ram babies they all died about 3 days ago mysteriously I think it was because I skipped a days water change and then did a bigger one to make up for it.. Be very careful as they are appear to be very sensitive to changes in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 UPDATE : Tonight all the eggs are wriggers, only lost one egg to fungus which was quickly removed to stop it spreading, Blue Ram fry now nearly absorbed there egg sacks and are now swimming in short bursts. keeping fingers crossed but seems to be going well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
