ram breeding and care

Post by rocky1 »

I've got 2 pairs of rams, one pair of golden rams and the other pair german blue rams. Got one male and one female of each type.

What's the best approach for breeding them? Are they into caves or little hidden spots?

You've got the wrong section for this question, these are new world cichlids. For breeding, they generally go for a flat rock with some overhanging cover - in my experience, a leaf does the trick. That being said, my rams have also made use of terrac flower pots when laid on their sides.
