My pair of Blue Rams were in a 30 gallon heavily planted tank with a school of rummy nose's, 4 cardina japonica, 2 oto's, and 2 SAE's. They several times and generally in the same location in the tank. To my knowledge none of the the eggs made it hatching. I took no special actions to save them, as I felt it would be best to let the parent's tend to them. My guess is the one of there tankmates or they themselves ate the eggs.
After the most recent spawning, the female died, shortly followed by the male. I have had these pair for over 2 years. Have read they were short lived, but I had difficulty believing it.
Since the parents have died and healthy Blue Rams are not easy to come by in Richmond VA. I have made an attempt to save the eggs. The eggs were deposited on a jave fern leaf. I took that leaf and put it into "mesh" breeder cage inside the tank to protect from predetation. I noticed that a fungus have began to grow one them and some eggs are clear-ish with black dot and others are milk white. I assume the clear-ish ones are fertilized and the others are dead. My questions are I am correct. How do I take care of the fertilized eggs to hatching and then what is the recommended procedure to grow them out?
I appreciate the help...
