I bought six German Blue Rams .. Juveniles.. beautiful coloration (I'll send you a picture if anyone is interested).. Got two pairs out of them and both are raising their fry... last spawn must have been over 100 fry. Unfortunately.. I had the opposite luck with Rams bred in Asia, I always had to artificially hatch the eggs. I guess you can call it just coincidence or plain luck!??
