Rams come from shallow water (I think less than a foot deep) that's in the sun all day (savanah environment). They love temperatures of 85 to 90 degrees F. Their colors are much brighter in the higher temperature ranges and they'll breed frequently. Give them a flat rock to lay their eggs on--they don't hide their eggs as apistos do, but lay them right out in the open. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
