Artificially hatching Ram Eggs

[BigJohnW@webtv.net (John Wubbolt)]

Hello all 
It's been my experience that I have a hard time artificially hatching
ram eggs.   I don't have this problem with anyother of the dwarf
cichlids I keep.   What I've been successful with, is leaving the male
with the eggs .   I remove the female as she tends to eat the eggs or
fry.  When the eggs become wigglers I remove the male from the tank as
well.  Once the eggs hatch and become wigglers the hard part for me
over.   They will become free swimming in a few days and then I start
feeding microworms and newly hatched brine shrimp to the tank.   What
your water quality as the fry are sensitive for the first couple of
weeks.   Good luck with them!
