Re: Breeding Rams !?!?!?!

I have had one experience with the Rams. I had 2 pair in a 20 gallon tank on
the bottom of a three tier tank. One pair had a 'house' in the back of the
tank and the other (the one that spawned) had a 'house' at the front of the
tank. They also had no light to speak of except for what came in the window.
One day when I was checking tanks to do water changes (which hadn't been
done for 2 weeks) I noticed the pair had free swimming fry with them. Once I
saw them thought I left a light on over their tank and the next day all the
fry were gone. My pH was 7.2 and hardness was 5.

Once I moved the pair to their own tank and kept an eye on the tank for
future spawnings, I had none. I just lucked out that one time.
