So i bought 4 1in. ram cichlids to eventually breed. So, i put them in a 20g high to grow out. I fed them a quality flake and occasionally frozen brine shrimp. To my surprise they laid eggs! I thought they would need to get 2.5in or bigger to breed. But sure enough theres a little group of around 50 eggs. This was 3 days ago so they should be hatching either today or tommorrow. I'll try to get some pictures.

well considering they're 1 inch i was going to put each pair into their own 10. I have 2 males 2 females. Is raising the fry similiar to that of discus and angelfish? I've done both successfully.
Rams are very bad parents you should just pull out the eggs. I try the method of leaving them in there the parents keep eating them even after they spawn 10 times I eventually gave up and sold the pair.

Well they passed my expectations for being first time parents they kept the eggs for 3 days, but sadly ate them today. It wouldn't be the first time i've had to artificially raise the fry.
