My Rams!

[Kindredspirit]

You are killing me here Larry ~ Now I wanna go 'home' ~ may go this weekend ~

They closed the Cliff House for almost two years I think ~ it was brutal to go there and not go in! But we were excited ~ not anymore ~ It is so ugly Larry and I have so many friends that live in the City and feel the same ~ Candy has been there with me ~ Inside is okay and you can still view the ocean and Seal Rock and all that but....

It was heartbreaking ~ here is the link:

OK all of you ram experts, I need a little breeding information and help.

I have moved several of my rams around and the male that you saw in the picture has 3 females with him that all look pretty "ripe".

Should I move them in to a tank of their own?

Is 1 male to 3 females a good ratio?

Do they require any special conditions (parameters, substrates, etc)?

They are in some of my discus tanks right now.

Steve,

"Should I move them in to a tank of their own? " Yes

"Is 1 male to 3 females a good ratio?" Perfect

"Do they require any special conditions (parameters, substrates, etc)?" Like wild discus---- soft, acid water, a flat rock (or something similar) to lay eggs on. I use a fine substrate, but I know many who go bb.

A 10 gallon is a large enough tank, but in that case I would only put 1 gravid female to 1 male. I prefer a 20 gallon and to have 3 females, with lots of territorial markers.
