I love Rams.. They are a beautiful fish and im sure many people have never seen wilds in the flesh, there are so many strains available now and very few of those are a improvement on the wild fish.
Last month i imported a box of rams direct from Columbia and was pleasantly suprised by the size and beauty of these fish, they are still young adults but after settling in for six weeks and having their numbers thinned the remaining 15 or so fish have coloured up beautifully and have started spawning.. Ive always found rams to spawn much more prolifically when crowded together, this time is no exception, they seem to like to defend their own little territory and doing so certainly encourages spawning!!
Heres a young male fighting for dominance(He is not the most dominant fish in the tank)
This is the latest pair to form, judging by behaviour they should spawn this evening.
And heres a spawn from last night..
