Male and female Rams are both active in the care of eggs 
and fry so leave both in the tank unless you feel one of 
the fish has too great a taste for the eggs, not 
necessarily the male though.

There is some debate over removing male Apistos after 
spawning.  In my experience I have only ever had one 
successful spawning with the male left in the tank.  
Perhaps if the tank is big enough leaving the male in makes 
no difference.  I use small tanks (18x10x10).
