Hi, Steph

I had some German Blue rams that seemed to spawn at the drop of a hat! =
The only way I was able to get any fry (save one time) was to remove the =
eggs from parents. If I let the parents take care of the spawn, by the =
third day the eggs disappeared; with or without the light left on. The =
only time the adults raised any fry was when I was away for the week. =
Maybe they need privacy!
Quite possibly the German Blues are a hardier strain than most. It =
didn't seem to matter much about water hardness or pH; anywhere from =
rainwater to wellwater suits them fine. As long as the young were raised =
in an established  tank, the first food I gave them was baby brine.
Good Luck                    Don

Hi All

I set up a breeding tank (70 litres, pair of rams and 6 zebra danios)for
my blue rams and they have settled in really well, so well that exactly
seven days after moving them in they have spawned !!

However its now three days later and all the eggs have disappeared -
some time between leaving for work this morning and getting home tonight
(50 - 58 hours after spawning).  All the eggs appeared kinda whitish
this morning which Dave thinks is mold?

Question is what do normal fertilised eggs look like?
why would they go moldy if a) the male appears to spend all his time
hovering and fanning the eggs and b) the water circulation is good.

Any tips or advice appreciated

Thanks

Steph
