German Blue Rams

[pjeff]

I have some German Blue Rams(GBR)
and i was wondering what kinda water and food would prep them for breeding currently there ph is a 6.8 and i just feed them cichlid staple food. What special foods would u suggest

 

[smb]

Temps about 76-80F and pH 5.0-7.0. Feed flakes, pellets and they love live foods. A lot of vegetable matter. Make sure you vary their diet as they can get congested.

do u like suggest blood worms krill or tubifex worms

 

[smb]

Bloodworms, krill, shrimp yes. I don't like to use any tubifex worms but that's only my personal preference, not the fish.

Water, rock, and fish = babies. lol!

Rams breed really easily but get fungus if the water is too hard but yours sound about right. Keep the temp high and feed lots of LIVE bloodsworms. non of the frozen crap. If they are young the male might not fertalize them the first few times. He has to get the hang of it. make sure you have plants like amazon swords with smooth leaves or rocks and smooth stones for them to spawn on. Make lots of places because they usually spawn in a different place everytime. It's not that hard to get them to breed just hard to get them to hatch. So, hopefully you get some fry!!! Good luck
