Thanks for all the encouragement everyone! I have a new batch of eggs tonight and I'm going to let them go again and see what happens. The last batch lated about 48 hours I'm hoping to see some fry this time around!
The tank currently has an aqueon 55/75 running on it, would a poret foam per...
Well, I've got the pair plus 5 females at the moment I don't have any spare tanks. I wasn't expecting them to spawn yet. I'm just going to let them go for now and see what happens. If I get some fry that's fine and if not I'll be more prepared next time
I've got a pair! When I was checking out my Rams today I noticed they laid a lot of eggs in a bowl shaped depression in a piece of driftwood in the tank! I also identified the pair, they're chasing everyone else away from the eggs! Now I've got to decide if I should remove the eggs or remove...
Ok, thanks for the heads up! I'll start with one pair and see hoe it goes. One question, I'm assuming it will be easy to tell when a pair is formed and it should be pretty obvious, is that the case?
Well, I ended up with 1 male and 6 females. Any chance that the male will pair up with so many females present? I'm hoping to get 3 or so more males, should I move 3 of the females into a different tank, or should I leave them all together until they pair up?
I've found a lot of info searching the forum, but I'd still appreciate if anyone has any tips or would like to share the details of there breeding setup.
Thanks for the info Mike!
I guess what I'm asking is what is the best way to breed them, or how do the forum members here do it? should I leave 2 or 3 pairs in the 40 gallon or should I put 1 pair in the 20 breeder by themselves?
I guess since I have 7 coming I may be able to try both, leave...
I have a standard 40 gallon tank, I used black diamond sand, have it pretty heavily planted, I have a large piece of driftwood in the center along with 7 cichlid stones spread out. The tank currently has 2 adult females that I am moving out to my community tank, this week I have 7 Juvenile GBR...
Is anyone here actually using it or tried it, on planted tank I have someone that is using it

Just like the title says is black diamond sandblasting sand safe for German Blue Ram Cichlids? I'm doing some research before setting up a new tank and I'm reall thinking about going with black diamond for substrate.
I'm planning on this being a low tech low cost natural looking tank!
I'm starting to set up a new tank I found on craigslist and I have a few questions.
I'm setting up this new tank for German Blue Rams or EBR,
The tank is 36L by 12W and 20H, 38-40 gallon I believe
I'd like to set up the tank natural looking, with a sand substrate and lots of plants. I'd love...
I'm totally new to cichlids and am also in the process of setting up a new tank. I've never used sand and was also looking at the flourite black because I wanted to use sand and something dark. I'd also like to know if anyone has any experience with it.
