Nice setup! Pretty fish. You should enter in the contests!

Awesome set up! =D

awesome setup, those blue rams are gorgeous.:tup:

Awsome rams! The best blues ive seen on any ram. Awsome.

Thanks for all the compliments. Guess I could enter into one of the contests but don't know which one yet.

Here is an update of the Ram tank. Hope you like the way its coming along.

:kewl: Looking good!

The tanks looking great, i'm not a fan of the pots in tanks but otherwise it looks cool.

what are the new plant in the forground? is it replanted riccia?

The plants look great! Any luck breeding the rams?

The plants in the foreground are baby tears and Plant Marsilea quadrifolia clover.
The pot makes a great cave for the rams.
They have spawned once, but ate the eggs. I will let them spawn a couple more times to see if they will care for them eventually, but after the 3rd spawn will pull the eggs and hatch them myself.


Taken today

Tank is looking really nice, lovely Rams, best of luck with the breeding.

it is looking very cool and hte pots getting over grown :whistle:

how do you get the eggs out without harming them?

wow those blue rams are gorgeous!!! love how the tanks progressing along. Props to ya!

They have been laying the eggs on the outside of the pot. All I would have to do is remove the pot and put it into another tank or gallon jar with lots of air movement and something to keep the eggs from getting fungus. The problem won't be hatching them, but getting the fry to eat and survive. Blue ram fry is very hard to keep going.
