Aquarium Advice Regular
I bought a pair of Gold Rams two weeks ago. They are still fairly small (about 3/4 inch, although one is slightly larger), both appear to be of the same sex, both with pinkish stomachs, and now they are both laying eggs in the same spot on a piece of driftwood. Yes, I see eggs coming out of both of them, and it does seem like an awful amount of eggs for just one fish to have layed. They're also not being as territorial as I expected from what I have read here. They're only protecting an area about 6 inches in circumference, although the spot they picked is well protected by plants on all sides. Is this normal for female fish to lay eggs even without a mate? Maybe I'm wrong about the sexes?
