German Blue Ram spawns…

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wow, gorgeous rams!!!!
 
Hello again…
Well on Thursday and Friday, the GBR’s where making a pit in the gravel next to the java moss. The female’s belly was getting very large and her egg funnel was dropping. So that means that spawn number 8 was coming soon. It sucks that they did not use the breeding cave that I got online. Friday night they spawned in the pit. Woke up this morning and first thing was to look and see it the eggs where hatched or hatching soon. They where gone again… number 8 come and gone:cry:.

We had some people look at the property and they are interested in buying. I don’t know when I can set up the new tank now. I have to wait to see if they buy. If that happens I will just set it up at the new place.

eh tough break =/ i was really pulling for you and a batch of fry. the good thing is that they seem to be spawning frequently, so it's likely you'll have many more chances. good luck! =]

damn bro thats rough. after reading the whole thread im rooting for a batch of fry to finally make it, for all the time concern and effort you've put into them. gluck!

Thanks,
If I only new if we where selling our property soon. If we aren’t then I am going to set up the other tank and should be up and running soon… I hate waiting. So far it is 8 spawns and do the math… 8 x an S load of eggs = a lot of lost fry… A lot of people are asking me to sell the fry to them, on this site and locally. I think I am going to just do the damn tank and screw the waiting.

Thanks again.

wow my female never got that large! they spawned 3 times.
it seems my male new how to be the parent, but the female didn't she ate the eggs, and they male fought her off to try and stop her... after that they didn't spawn anymore.

also once they spawn in a place they usually stick to it. one probably with me was the wigglers fell into the gravel.
