Hi,
I've kept a pair of rams in a showtank for the last six months, but two weeks ago I bought six young adults which are now in their own tank. After watching them interact for a few days I've decided I'd like to breed them. The only other fish I keep are discus and angels. Can you guys give me some advice on breeding, pairing off, and raising rams?
Thanks to Rick's help(who I know through the discus forums), I have sexed my rams, best I could anyway. I have one definite female, four definite males, and one I'm not sure of. The female is very aggressive and seems to own the tank. I have placed two plastic plants and two medium pieces of slate in the 10 gal, no substrate, temp 84F. Ph 7.4 , water changes 25% 3 times/wk. Feed bloodworms, brine shrimp, high protein flake, tetra bits, and am trying to get them to eat my beefheart mix. Should I lower the params, or just wait for them to form a pair?
Any advice would be great, I'm a novice with these guys...
Thanks!
