Woo hooo - The little wigglers like the vinegar eels. I started  
cultures of the micro-worms and vinegar eels and saved some to feed.
The ram babies are cute little bug eyed critters right now. I put a  
couple squirts of washed eels into the tank by the nest and the  
babies got really excited. At first I was afraid the papa was eating  
the ones that swam up to get some eels but then I realized he was  
grabbing them and spiting them back into the nest area. He has been a  
very devoted parent so far.
Here is what has happened so far.
They laid the eggs and about 3 days later I came back to what looked  
like a dead nest site with a few egg shells. But then I realized that  
the parents had moved the eggs down - looking closer I realized they  
had wigglers in the new nest site. A couple days later they moved the  
kids to another spot up in amongst the java moss. I've been worried  
about what I was going to feed them when the egg sacs gave out  
although they have a lot of java moss critters and such in that tank.  
I managed to get all the other fish out of the tank (It was a  
community tank) except a kuhli loach - so far he has not gotten the  
eggs and papa hangs pretty close to them so maybe it will be ok. The  
worst offenders where some botia loaches that ate the last batch of  
eggs almost immediately.

Keeping my fingers crossed!
Linda
