Gbr breeding

I had a male up and die on me 3 months ago for reasons I have yet to figure out too. All water tests were excellent, they were well fed, guess crap just happens sometimes do you have any other fish?

I have a 50 gallon full of them. Lol
I think I might convert the 20 gallon my rams were in into a shrimp tank.

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

I thought about doing a shrimp tank myself... I have 11 tanks now but I don't want to give up one lol so all of your other rams are ok?

No those were my only rams

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

Oh I thought you meant you had a tank full of rams! Whoops!

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

I've got eggs again!

 

[Chileno]

Nice!!!! I lost all of mine, I ended up taking that fake wood out and putting a lot of rocks so if they lay again it will be easier to take the eggs out. Are you going to put the eggs somewhere else?

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

I'm monitoring them like a hawk! Every 15 min or so I check on them, I figured I'd give them a shot and if they start to disappear I'm taking them

 

[Chileno]

Ohh ok thats what I was doing, but then i got busy on the second day and when I came back they were all gone

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

I'm a stay at home mom so I'm always here I'm hoping by some freak chance they raise their fry with no problems but I'm ready to snatch them up if need be.

 

[Chileno]

Ohh thats good! Then yea i hope they do and thy raise them. Good luck, and let's see some pics if you can

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

Yeah they laid on a nice sized rock last time, so this time I replaced it with one of those nice flat sea shells, upside down, in the same spot, and they used it. It's raised on the edges like a cup, thinking that it would be harder for one of the cories or something to find them and eat them. We will see...

 

[Fishninja]

Good luck!!

 

[Chileno]

How are the eggs doing?

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

Pretty good so far! I removed them after all, didn't want to take the chance.

 

[Chileno]

Nice! How long has it been? Where did you put them?

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

This would be day two I believe... All I had at that particular moment was one of those big critter keeper tanks, like 5 or 6 gallon I think, so I put a sponge filter, air stone, and that m. Blue stuff to keep fungus from growing. My tank I was going to use for them has 3 batches of convict eggs in there at the moment so it isn't bad being its what I came up with in the split second I decided to remove the eggs.. Aren't they supposed to hatch in 2-3 days right?

 

[Chileno]

I've heard from 40 to 48 hours. Thats when mine disappear

 

[Chileno]

I have eggs again! it's been 8 days again, since last time they laid eggs, I have a breeding box on the back of the tank that I'm going to put them in

 

[Untaughtlibra84]

How's it going ?!
