Re: Rams have spawned

["Leo Reinhard" <rein@better.net>]

Hi Bob
Thanks for the reply.I have had this aquarium setup and cycled for 2 months
with an Eheim canister filter and 6 SAE which were removed when I suspected
that a spawning was imminent and the day of the spawn I added a sponge
filter which has been cycling in another tank.

This morning the male is still protecting the eggs which have stiil not gone
white and he chases the female away when she comes near the eggs.Do you
think this is a sign that I should remove the female and let him care for
the eggs on his own?

Thanks
Leo
