    Are Blue rams as bad as their reputation

    For my spawning setup I use RO water which is pretty close to 0 in hardness on my TDS meter. Then I add my aged tap water to get it to were I want it.

In all cases but one they have eaten the eggs before they hatched. in the one case they allowed the eggs to hatch, but the wigglers soon disappeared so I guess they ate them also. Very frustrating. I have had luck with A...

    Kribensis fry

    My kribensis have spawned and have about 50 fry that have become free swimming. The parents still watch over them continually. I was wondering when I should remove the parents to let the fry grow up on their own.

Not too sure how long it will be before they spawn again. I am feeding them frozen blood worms and live white worms along with an...

Both pairs have spawned and both pairs have eaten the eggs after a day or so. These are young fish and this is their first spawning. Will they eventually spawn and...
