My wild rams spawned....

[brewmaster15]

Pretty cool, I picked up a bunch of these a few months back from Paulio, and have been trying to spawn them... I didn't do much...just threw them in a 10gal tank with gravel and some rocks... and they did nothing.. I have since learned they like sand and sheltered areas..,,

Well... someone tell it to this pair..They layed a mess of eggs on an inclined rock....


by the way... These fish are the coolest little buggers... wish they came the size of discus... The colors are incredible...

cool Al! I have 4 of my own that I had in a planted tank also til a mishap with the C02 :o. The fish are alright though. What kind of water do you keep them in, PH and such? Mine were laying like crazy in the planted tank with a PH of 7. Now that I have moved them to a tank with a PH of 7.8 nothing. They are cool little fish though aren't they.
