love is... hopefully... in the air/water.

so as i said in my other post. ive got two german rams for my 55 gallon. a male and female. they seem to be inseperable! but is it to early to tell, ive only had them for 2 days.

let me know how it goes i really wanna breed rams eventually! just out of curiosity what is your ph? i have read it affects it but i have no idea how. I'm curious to see what yours is and if they breed.

mine is a steady 7.4. i have just introduced my couple to the other couple of kribs.

I just got my female today, the last one came from a bad breed of some sort. My buddy lost two males from the same store and neither of us are inept fish keepers. Anyway I got one from a different store today so I'm hoping as your post says that "love is the air... or water" lol

My ph is @ 7.6 but I'm wondering if lowering it with indian almond leaves is a good idea? I have Ramirez Dwarf Cichlids they're still babies and are just getting their colors.

cole I think lowering it is fine with whatever you can use to do so slowly and in a stable way

Oh thanx i just wasn't sure.

fish can adapt to a ph within resonable means. it'll just take time and patience. my tank is lookin dank

So a alkaline ph won't affect spawning because i read when breeding rams they need specific water conditions.
