Blue + Gold = ?
So last weekend my boyfriend and I decided to try rams one more time. We got a nice pair of GBR's and Gold male. there were no decent looking females.
Tonight when I went to feed them I found that the female GBR laid eggs with the male gold!!!
We can't wait to see what colors these lil guys will have. Keep your fingers crossed that this batch hatches and survives!

I was going to get some but then I remembered the last time we had a spawn. They ate the eggs after we took pics. Maybe this pair won't be as jumpy. I'll see what I can get. |

When my angel pair used to spawn, I found that leaving the light on all the time stopped them, and the pleco, from eating the eggs.
Are you prepared to feed them with they become free swimming?
Good luck, keep us updated!

At night on that tank we have moon lights. No plecos in this tank. Only otos, bamboo shrimp and the 3 rams. (40g heavily planted tank) I have some fry food, that kind that comes as a paste and I have some frozen baby brine shrimp that has been in the freezer waiting for just such a happy occasion. Also the tank has it's own source of "green water" (algae). They should have plenty of food to grow on I think. (If they survive) |

So here's a few pictures of the happy little couple. Daddy is the Gold, mama is the GBR. They laid eggs on the leaf of an anubias. As you can tell, daddy was NOT very happy that I took pics. And yeah, I suck at picture taking.
