Thus far I have had 6 pairs pair off.. 5 of those are sold, I have 1 up for grabs right now and that leaves 4 more fish to do what they will at this time =)


And something quite exciting.. and sad happened yesterday.. the pair I picked out to keep for myself spawned! it was so awesome.. I have never had anything but snails lay eggs so this was sooo cool, I got some pics! here they are:

And right after I got these shots, she started eating them.. and didn't stop til every egg was gone :eek3: very sad.. but I read that they will do this to the first cpl spawns so I wasn't as shocked as I could have been.. the awesome part about this, is I actually didn't think these guys were ready for spawning yet at all! So I guess they are :thm:

That's awesome (the part about spawning)! I can't wait to get mine in!
 
They're going to be the perfect additions to my 55. :dance:
 
Ya, definitely sad but like I said, it was to be expected. Much to my surprise when I woke today from my nap I found one of the "other" pairs had spawned as well!

And, to follow suit, right after I took these pics I ran up to grab a snack and came back down.. to find them all gone *sigh* I guess in this situation it was a good thing, because if you'll notice, that's the filter intake they laid eggs on haha so I don't think that would have been good at any rate!

So as it stands, all the pairs that have paired up are bought and paid for, I have 4 pairs being shipped out on monday, I still have 5 rams left so we'll see what happens when the tank settles down, right now it's a very aggressive tank with 4 pairs in a 29g lots of chasing! I will keep this thread updated until they are all gone =)

Just wanted to post that I'm sold out of these guys for right now.. at least til my pair stop eating their eggs and let some hatch! haha Thanks to those of you who made purchases and to those who I didn't have enough fish to go around to.. I hope I have some to offer soon =)
 
can i ask ,what your water parameters are for these great fish!!
ph,kh, temp,co2 and water changes?
thnx!
 
Well, right now mine are NOT ideal, as I'm really just learning about these guys, I will be buying a RO/DI system next paycheck and work on getting my TDS and PH down, but at the current time my ph is 7.4 (in this tank.. it's 8.2 from my tap) my KH is around 10 (this is the problem area for breeding I know) temp is 80 co2 is pressurized the tank is heavily planted and wc's are weekly, without fail, only doing about 25% on this tank because I don't want any major ph swings, but it's 50% on my other tanks
 
thnx for the info.ive had rams before,but they didnt do very well.i dont think my water was ready at those times.now i believe im ready. ph 6.8, 30% water changes weekly,co2 injection,temp is 80 degrees with a fully planted tank.still have to get kh kit and a few others,but im very confident that they will do well.i have four angels and 12 tetras and cories in a 55g tank.hoping to get a pair from you in the future
they look so awesome!!!!i also know that keeping them in same parameters they came from can be very beneficial.thnx.
