    Blair01, Thanks for the explanations and help with this. It is one of the males. Should I return the picked on male and does it matter what female? I have the dried small shrimp I was using as a treat so I will switch places with the worms in the feeding. :thumbsup:

    I have already started the temp increase it is now 78f. I feed them once a day a small pinch of chicild flake food and a small amount of dried bloodworms.

    Blue Ram acting diffrent is it sick?

    What I meant by 0 nitrite is .05 I call it 0 because I haven't seen it any lower in any of the tanks I have had. I change 10 gals a week. I have not had any problems with the fish getting along. I re-stocked this tank last February with fish and groupings for this size tank as advised by members...

    Blue Ram acting diffrent is it sick?

    They are also at 0. No it is not a planted tank. I was told a 36 gal hex is to high for plants without special lighting.

    Any suggestions as to the best way to catch small fish?

    Thanks, the turkey baster with the end cut a little larger and doing it at feeding time sounds good. The lfs will take the small ones and this way I can keep my main fish ant not worry about inbreed breeding. Thanks again

    Temp question. Someone told me if I lower my tank temp it will discourage spawning.

    Thanks toddnbecka. Now I know it's not a myth and the way you suggest to lower the temp makes sense. The first two LFS I went to told me to come back in 2 weeks and they may take some off my hands for free. There both overstocked right now.
