I added three Bolivian Rams to my community tank about a month ago. They didn't really seem to pair off but they all got along relatively fine. Sunday night I noticed that two of the rams seemed to be sticking together in the middle or the tank. They had never bothered any other fish, but I noticed them chasing after anything that came near their territory - dwarf gourami, corys, and neon tetras. The dwarf gourami started to fight back so I shut off the light early and everyone mellowed out.
This morning when the lights came on I discovered that there appeared to be eggs on the rock underneath the part of the tank the pair was defending! This is my first experience with breeding fish and I am so excited. I never expected the rams to pair off so fast - I wasn't even sure what genders they were! I got some Hikari first bites and some frozen baby brine shrimp from the pet store so I am prepared for the eggs to hatch! The parents are doing a spectacular job defending their territory after their very first spawn.
