Please forgive me, I posted this same exact same thing on another cichlid forum but I am too impatient...need lots of advice & this forum looks like it gets more activity...
Anyway- Earlier this afternoon, today that is, I bought a pair of German Blue Rams for my month old 30 gallon tank. I currently have 3 rasboras and 1 corydoras fish too. I was not expecting to find the rams breeding in my tank ALREADY!!! The female has laid eggs all over a leaf on a plant in my tank and the male I think is, uh, fertilizing them. I have absolutely no idea but thats what it looks like.
Im so excited, Im having babies, holy ****!!!
What can I do to help them live? should I take out any other fish? will they eat the eggs or will the mom and dad protect them?? I just put them in there a couple hours ago, for crying out loud!!!
(Just for the record these fish are local bred and my water is about 7.8ph, same as the local pet store.)
thanks for replies, x100000 as I have no idea what to do!
