German Blue Rams spawning

[mysticalnet]

My german blue rams spawned! What am I gonna do now? I was moving a lace rock today and suddenly 2 german rams one male another female started to attack my hand, I noticed that the rock has some dust then, but they were actually eggs!

My question is, are the babies going to survive you think? This is in a 50G and I have 10 german blue rams, 2 weather loaches, small community fish like endlers, cardinal tetras, corydoras...

Does anyone know how long before the babies hatch from the eggs? Any ideas on feeding? I'm excited!

update, they are not eggs, I noticed after looking at it for like 5 minutes, they are wigglers! They are all moving!! Not at the free swimming stage yet but hmm I need to get food for them tomorrow!

You can always try Hikari First Bites. Quick and easy, and works great for many fry.

Good luck! Very exciting!

my gbr wigglers fed off debris in the java moss/algae for a good 10-12 days before i started feeding them with baby brine shrimp. i guess if your tank is a little "messy" it helps a bit for the fry.

I separated them as you guys suggested, the parents were not very happy at all, kept attacking my hand!


More, not hatched ones.

The last time I tested the water, was long long time ago, but it was pH 6.4, nitrite, ammonia, nitrate all 0.
