I noticed tonight that my pair of Blue Ram Cichlids are now laying eggs on a piece of driftwood smack out in the open in the center of my tank. Currently the tankmates I am worried about include a black finned shark (or catfish), a cory, female betta, two kissing gouramis, and some bumblebee gobies. Should I be worried about any of these eating the eggs/fry? Thanks

The parents will have their work cut out for them. All fish are potential egg eaters, even the parents themselves.

Two questions:

1. Will this pair stay mates for life?

2.If so, can I move them to a 10 gallon to breed then transfer them back to the community tank afterwards?
