RAM Breeding Experience?

[Aqua Pro Builder]

My RAM spawn lately but the eggs do not look to me fertilized. What color are the fertilized eggs supposed to be?

Ram?

German Blue Ram cichlids-Apistogramma Ramerzii. The eggs should be transparent with visible black dots. Any milky eggs are a sign of fungus. Parents should take care of any unfertilized or fungi eggs, but it takes time. They have to learn being parents Mine ate the eggs several times before they hatched but after some time the eggs started to hatch and parents guarded fry all the time. It is awesome to watch. But if you are thinking of rearing them into adulthood, you should separate the young to another tank.

Thanks.

Give them some time. Good method is to put cut in half coconut shell (that was in the water for some time) and Rams will eventually lay eggs on the inside surface of the coconut. That way it is very easy to remove the eggs.

I would like to get my hands on one of those Rams myself.

They are awesome fish, one of my favourite. The coolest thing about them is that they are not hard to breed. But please, don't ever get baloon rams, they are genetic freaks. Here's a picture of my RIP male:

The eggs can also be yellow. Just make sure you do not have 2 females.

You can also use a clay pt or a piece of slate rock.
