I know most of you guys are into Africans, but I recently had a pair of German Blue Rams mate. They are moving these guys around quite a bit, but yesterday I was able to grab a pic of the male standing guard. You can see the every so tiny eggs and wrigglers just below the male in the little dip in the driftwood. They only stayed there a short while before they got moved back into the cave...  |

NICE looking fish and pic !
I love all Ram colors, but they are quite the timid fish.
I too have several.

Mine are near 80 degrees with my declorinated tap water. About 7.2 ph, about 17 degrees hardness using my drop tester, which is listed as semi-hard water.
It is written that they breed better in 80 plus water and softer than 17, but I have found they fare just fine and spawn in my water w/o problem.

I also keep mine around 80 degrees. I have them in good ole tap water, but I'm pumping CO2 into the tank for the plants, which bumps the pH down around 6.8...without the CO2 our tap stays in the 7.8 area.
