German ram spawn. help asap?

[mikewang]

this is the 2nd time my german ram pair have spawned since i bought them 2 weeks ago. they male is guarding the eggs now, but i have few egg eaters. my buddy told me to leave the light on so the male can see any predators and protect the eggs. should i do this? or remove the eggs? thanks

leave the light on 8)

what do you have for predators?

 

[mikewang]

before the next time they spawn, i should have another 10gallon just for them set up.

the eggs have been eaten. the predators i have are 2 x khuli loaches, 2 x bushy nose pleco, corys (dont go on leaves though), SAE, otto cat. : )

everything you have but the otto's will eat them

get that 10g set up and start raising ram fry
