Thanks sooo much. These links were spot on for the information I needed!

Thanks for the advice! My problem seems to be that the females are producing eggs and picking spots to lay them, but the males seem oblivious to the overtures. I have two males and two females in a 50 gallon heavily planted tank, not really by design. I'd planned on only having one male, but...

Oh, the female rams (Freon and Krypton) seem devoid of eggs today. At least Krypton does. She had been looking bigger day after day and exhibiting some interest in creating a spawning spot. The males (Boron and Xenon) seem much more interested in tank hierarchy issues.

Hey thanks! I'm trying frozen daphnia now. I'll look into live food though!

Aw thanks! Here's my blog Aquarium Blog. Just getting back into the hobby!

These tiny fish are amazing. Their small size makes the aquarium seem just huge! They're also difficult to photograph, he, he. Unfortunately they seem to be finicky eaters. The first meal of the day is always some frozen daphnia and I'm pretty sure they're eating it. Any thoughts on Scarlet...

Thanks for the info. No comment ;). And I'll keep you posted! You can always check here Aquarium Blog I'll guess I'll start being more descriptive in the blog once I'm pretty sure the tank isn't going to come "crashing" around my ears. I'm such a noob!

"on the glass" doh! Thanks very much for the reply!

Well, if I make any progress I'll keep the forum updated!

Yeah, smart to be cautious. I think you'd mentioned EBRs are running for $20 in your neck of the woods. Do you know if any females are out there? On a related note, here's a pic of one of the GBR females that are living with my EBR males (two each).

Anyone find Electric Blue Ram (EBR) females? I've read they may be difficult to find. So, I'm wondering how the blue coloration works. Is it recessive, poly-genetic, etc? I'm wondering if you have an EBR male and typical German Blue Ram (GBR) female what characteristics would the fry possess...

Nice! What are the horizontal lines no the glass?

Yup I agree. I think folks are protective of the GBRs. Whenever I see or post a EBR pic I get this pretty quickly. I don't think the EBRs will be anywhere near as popular as the GBRs.

Oooh, thanks! It is a nice pic, but lemme say the typical German Blue Rams (GBR) many folks find even more beautiful. These Electric Blue Rams (EBR) are relatively recently bred to the market so I've heard it depends on local market if you can find them. Also the EBR can look flashy or washed...

Enjoy! Day 7 of my planted tank. Aquarium Blog Please let me know if you have thoughts or advice. Thanks
