I found a breeding pair of German blue rams as was tempted to buy them, what are some things to know when it comes to breeding them?

Really clean water, lot's of hiding spots, large-ish tank footprint.
Soft water, 82+ degrees, hiding spots, and flat surface or fine substrate (to dig for eggs).
What do you mean by tank footprint?
82F is not completely necessary, they can thrive at 78. They also can BREED in hard water, as long as it is clean.
A tanks footprint is its dimensions, mainly focusing on length and widtg. Obviously since fish swim horizontally, vertical space does not give them as much room as horizontal space would.
Yeah but why keep them at the lowest temperature? Plus depends on the stock you recieve, their sensitivity differs for every keeper so I think it's safer to be above 80 degrees. But sure they CAN live I'm lower temps but I think you'd have better breeding success in the 80's
