So, an up-date on the Rams and eggs. This morning I got up and the eggs were gone. I expected it since I have lot's of fish in the tank that would eat the eggs and fry. I have a bunch of Gouramis, five Clown Loaches ranging from 6" to 8", plus Blue Rams, Apisto Borellis, Tetras and Corys. So this was expected. So tonight I was feeding and I noticed that the breeding Rams had dug a hole is the gravel that went under the roots of a bunch of Corkscrew Vals and some other plants and in the hole are a pile of wigglers. So they move the eggs and are still safe, I'm surprised! I'm still not very hopeful, I do have a 10 gallon fry tank with a few hundred fry from these guys but it would be nice to see them be successful is this tank.
