Ram breeding

["The Haunted" <theoutlaw_torn@hotmail.com>]

Hello,


My pair of rams (not sure if they are german, blue, wild caught or asian) 
are ready to spawn. They have spawned a few times before but they always eat 
there eggs. The one time i sperated the eggs i had about 30fry out of 200 
eggs hatch.

I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to yield more fry?

Im not sure if it is the male or female who eats the eggs. I think it is 
either the female or both. Just because the male usually is not near the egg 
site.

I put them in a 10gallon barebottom with some flat rainbow rock and a sponge 
filter. the male is coloured brilliantly and the females belly is bright 
purple, and they are hanging around one of the rocks. So i imagine breeding 
is imminent.

So any suggestions on what I should do??


btw. the Taeniacara candidi trio i put in a planted 15 is going alright. the 
male and one female paired and killed the other female. and she has got a 
huge belly and the male and her display frequently and go to different 
caves. I supose they may spawn soon too.... any suggestions there?


thanks coby
