Breeding rams

[Tiger]

Can someone please give me some advice on breeding my rams? I'm keeping a pair in a 14"x7"x9" tank. The guy at my LFS said this would be big enough, but i dunno...... Any help would be nice

NO WAY! You cannot keep any fish in a tank that small (Although some people would argue a goldfish and betta can) (Perhaps a betta).

Try and look at buying a tank thats 15-20G. The sizes might range from 24"x12"x12" for a 15G. Or 30"x12"x12"

that's like 3 gal !??! (ish) that's not big enough i would use atleast a 10 gal with 20 being better, but the bigger the better. rams usually breed only in really good water so make sure you keep condidtions up and keep up on WC's

WC's = Water changes. pH 6.8, Temp 82F.
