Blue ram spawn again, but still can't find a male.

My female blue ram spawn again, but I still can't find a male for her. I am living in NJ.

Are you saying that the female is the only ram in the tank?

I think he is saying that the female is laying eggs, but there is no male to fertilize them.

I guess that's my point. I did not think that the female would lay eggs without a male present. I have a female that was an active breeder in a tank by herself and she has never produced eggs since she has been alone.

If there is more than just that female in the tank, I wonder if he maybe has a male and does not know it?

I've heard many times of females laying without a male present. Maybe the eggs become old and aren't as good?

I have only two females. One females lays eggs on gravel, another female follows it and eats the eggs. The second female will lay eggs soon too. I checked several local pet stores but can't find any blue ram. The Petco store where I bought them has not had blue ram since.
