Re: [GSAS-Member] HELP! My Blue Rams have hatched!

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

It's 40 gallons.  I'll fish out the algae eaters and add them to my larger 
tank, if I can do so without upsetting the rams.  The corys aren't guarding 
their spawn, it's just stuck there, actually in 4 different places.  She must 
be a young mother, about half grown size, so I'm not expecting any babies out 
of this.  However, I've tried, with everything taken out of the tank, to 
capture those cories, and wasn't successful, so I'm not even going to try now, 
with the tank fully planted.  Like I said, these are half size, and I've seen 
the rams successfully drive off the cories when they got too close to the spawn.

If I'm supposed to feed them BBS when they are "old enough", can anyone define 
"old enough"?

  CONGRATS on the Blue Rams!!!  Feed BBS as soon as they are old enough.  Your 
  biggest worry though will be the SAE's and corys wanting to snack on them.  
  The parents will guard them and try to protect, but they are no match for an 
  adult hungry SAE.  The corys might be okay if they have a clutch of their 
  own to guard.  How big is the tank?
