    Blue Rams Laid Eggs

    So on the 30th of December I added a pair of german blue rams to my tank.

    Looking at the digging in my substrate they've been doing in the last week I noticed one of them guarding a little batch of eggs in the substrate.

    A bit exciting, and totally unexpected.

    The only other tank mate is a sole rummy nose tetra.

    tank specs: 23l fluval edge
    ADA Amazonia substrate

    Well done, they are a fun little fish, and watching the parents herd their fry around is fascinating. How about some photos?
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    Unfortunately I did a really shabby job cleaning the front glass last time I did a water change, and their eggs are down in the front left corner, they've dug out a little groove, so I don't want to disturb them.

    they are a beautiful little fish, keep them unsuccessfully once before, hoping these guys do better!

    as soon as I see more than a little pile of white eggs I will make an update!
