[GSAS-Member] Blue rams spawned again

["A JACOBSON" <amjacobson52@msn.com>]

I didn't expect my rams to spawn only 2 weeks after their first spawn (which 
was eaten by them shortly after it was laid), but Friday night there they were 
guarding eggs on the side of the tank, and by Saturday I could see quite a few 
developing.  Sunday late afternoon they were still all there, but Sunday night 
they were gone -- don't know if they hatched and were moved, or if they were 
eaten.  Since then the parents have been guarding a space I can't get a good 
look at, so there might still be a brood, or not . . . 

Anyway, if I am suddenly confronted with free-swimming fry, what am I supposed 
to feed them?  Also, given that the eggs were laid on Friday sometime, is it 
possible they hatched Sunday afternoon?  (I keep the tank at 80 degrees).  Or 
am I worrying about nothing?  And if they are likely to have hatched on Sunday, 
when might I expect free-swimming fry?

I am hurrying as fast as I can on setting up the 55 gallon and moving all the 
other residents to it, at which point I'm hoping / expecting some successful 
spawns.  The other pair has stopped driving each other away, and are instead 
making shimmying gestures towards each other . . .
