German Blue Rams First Spawn

[Clare]

Well, here's an update - the rams ate their babies on day 5 but I managed to scoop about 10 of them up in a cup very gently and put them in my 10G grow out tank with the thriving baby LF albino plecs - all of them are doing fine and eating BBS but since they are so small it makes cleaning the tank challenging but doable - just have to be patient. They seem to like the plecs and hang out with them - safety in numbers

Pics - as good as I can get - attached.....they are growing slowly - how long do they take to mature? I hope they make it!
