07-08-2006 16:46 by emma123	has any one had much experience with rams? ive just got myself 2 rams and 2 golden rams sooooooooo impressed with them! would love to try my hand at breading them but have no idea where to start! would they need there own tank etc? the 2 golden rams have all ready set up camp in a cave, how can you tell the sex of them?
07-08-2006 16:49 by mickyblu	it might help if you let us in on what tank set up you have.. what fish youve stocked it with and what decor youve got... even better a picture may help aswell.. I dont really know much bout rams.. got three myself but did have bout 15.. but they are quite picky bout their water and their environment. in my experience anyways
07-08-2006 16:53 by emma123	3ft long ft and half high and ft and half deep, lots of plants at the back and sides few small caves in the middle empty space at the front and middle top ive only got my 4 rams 2 of each my 4 small corbys and 2 angel fish
07-08-2006 16:59 by mickyblu	the caves sound like an ideal place for spawning in my view... it may be worth looking the rams up on google to see if it helps by telling you how to sex them, how to spawn them and how to keep them. I may be warey of the corys.. they may jump in a take out any eggs that are laid..just a thort... try this page. http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile3.html
07-08-2006 17:05 by Ray	Hello emma,rams are a soft water fish,you should keep them in the same conditions as discus,water temp of 80 will suit them,they will breed quite easily usually on a flat stone,but like a lot of cichlids they can be poor parents at first.The tank size you have is fine but you could house pairs in something smaller,the angels might be a problem though.

08-08-2006 07:59 by emma123	cheers for that they are so lovely i would love to manage to breed them, theve settled in great now cheers for the advice

I have a pair that spawn regularly in my Discus tank and can get quite aggressive towards my Discus. After spawning they move their eggs to a different location which is quite interesting.
