Yeah, I can do that. Everything seems settled out now, so tonight around 8 or so I'll IM you. Watch for "Tubby Dread".

I'll be delivering pizzas but I should be back around 8:30-9. If you're not on it doesn't matter.

None so far. They're back in their old (first) 10g tank, same style. Feeding on the same foods, same schedule. Same water chemistry and everything. No signs of breeding. I'm starting to think they're seasonal breeders, possibly like certain Loricariidae are rumoured to be. Since in spring and late summer, I had breeding almost every other week; nothing now.
Rams are short lived fish that burn bright but don't last long. When they stop breeding it is often the first sign of senescence.

Wow that's a put down. = (
Also how did you use the 24" light on the 20" tank? I am looking to upgrade the lights on my ten gallon and would LOVE one of these! Those pics don't seem to work for me.

It wasn't meant to be a put down. Rams are a naturally short lived species usually found in 90*F water. That is why one needs to save an early spawn even if it means artificial methods because if one waits for a rare parental rearing the window of opportunity will be lost.
I regard them as semi-annual Dwarf Cichlids. Doesn't mean I don't think they are great fish; they are just different from most Cichlids.
