My Electric blue ram and gold ram female had a successful spawn. What should I feed these little guys?
Anyone have experience breeding and raising these little guys?

I know they are not monsters but I figured some one out there has probably done it.
 
Thanks for your responses. I'll have to try it again next spawn. Sadly, I came home and mom or dad or both ate the free swimmers. I'm thinking of setting up a boring breeding tank for them and once they spawn, I'm removing mom and dad and I'll raise the offspring in the tank.
 
Yeah I pulled their first spawn. It was not very different from other species, but the fry were smaller and you have to be patient. Make sure you dont over feed them, especially for just a few fry. A tiny bit of live bbs 2-3 times a day. Keep the water warm and clean, and make sure there is not too much left over food at the bottom. I use abn to clean my fry tanks and they usually dont bother the fry. They will make it. Good luck!
