German Blue Ram babies Christmas Day 12.25 update.



2010.12.30 Another batch of babies, this time I did not separate them from the parents into another tank, I just let them be and they have gone through hatching wigglers, and now free swimming.

Parents are soooo busy catching the babies in their mouths and puffing the babies back into the nest or cave. They are awesome parents!! So cute! ^_^
