German Blue Rams spawning, fry and juvenile pic's

[ronw007]

I have had my German Blue Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) spawn several times and thought I would include some pic's of the various stages. The male is a long fin ram and the female is a regular fin.

1st pic, GBR pair spawning
2nd and 3rd pic, fry at a couple days old since free swimming
4th and 5th pic, fry at about 1 month old, starting to look like Rams
6th pic, juvenile's at about 2 to 3 months in age just starting to show colors.
Last 2 pic's, young GBR's at about 4 months in age, looking like miniture versions of their parents.

Hope you Enjoy !

I have never owned this fish, but acctualy saw my first one in germany. Wanted to get a pair but new I would have to give them up to come back to the states. Are they difficult to care for and are they compatible with other fish?

Very cool! I can hear the not-so-distant memory of bbs bubbling to life. Thanks for the pics. One of my all time favorite fish to keep and breed!
