German Blue Ram Update

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Haha Im really excited about getting another pair now!
Thanks for the compliments!

Another small update:
The female is getting fatter and pinker. Her tube seems to be extending more also. Both fish are shaking in front of each other when the lights go on in the morning. I also saw little nips in each of thier back fins. Looks like they have been gitting a little rough. The males long dorsal spikes are also coming in. Im really excited!
I will keep you all updated, and maybe take some more pictures tonight.
Thanks!
 
Big update!
So we have a bonded pair! I came home today to find the two of them hovering over a pit in the substrate. No eggs yet, but Im really excited! I will keep updated!
 
So we have eggs! It was amazing to watch them spawn. Obviously they are first time parents. They have made quite a few mistakes so far. Such as completely leaving the eggs unattended. This resulted in a kuhli sitting himself right down in the nest and munching on some eggs. They seem to be good parents when they decide to stay with the eggs. Alot of the time they do just leave them. But when they do decide to gaurd them they fan them and clean them. If the eggs are still there tomorrow I will post pictures. Also a question> do rams seem to fade thier colors when spawning/ gaurding eggs? Cause mine did.

Thanks!
