Congrats, Justin! And another great video! Thank you for taking the time...
My pleasure! Thank you for watching and I am over the moon that you enjoyed the video:)
Such a great video Jus !! Your knowledge and talent astounds me. You are such an incredible fish breeder and an even greater person. Your kind and hardworking nature is going to take you far in no matter what you do in the future. I love your channel and your partner is so very lucky to have you in her life. You are one in a million đ
Thank you and I am so happy you liked this one :) I am the luckiest to have her in my life. I appreciate it a lot!
Great video! Itâs easy to see that you have such a genuine passion for this đ
Thank you so much, Em! Means the world coming from you:)
Subscribed, this is the first video of yours I've seen. Great work. "Enjoy your fish"
Awesome, thank you Lisa! A very BIG welcome to you from the JFR family!!! What types of fish do you keep at the moment? What types of fish are you wanting to keep in the future?
Awesome video and tips for these black rams! Such great tips and insights! Love the video and love how much success you've been having with breeding these rams!
Thank you, Emmanuel! That means the world! How are your fish going?
@@JustinsFishRoom they're doing great and I mean every word of it as your videos are extremely helpful!
@@emmanuelV37 Thank you:)
Great video Justin! It would be awesome if you could expand on this video and talk about how you raise the fry. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for the idea! I will have to do this in a video sometime in the near future:)
Yea, i started lowering my temp to between 28-29 a long time ago with rams. i know alot of people say 30c but my rams do really well a couple of degrees lower. Great video with useful info. And although i have kept rams for a while now its nice to be reminded of things that are easy to forget.
I completely agree:) There is a lot of 'Rule of Thumb' info out there that I find a bit misleading based off my experience. A lot of the stuff, as you would know, is just based of logic which is nice and simple.
Great video; first time viewer. I picked up my first black ram yesterday; they only had males. Heâs doing very well in my 75 gallon community aquarium. Iâm excited to watch him get fat and healthy over time. Also picked up 5 red pencil fish.
Welcome to the JFR community, Will! I hope you are liking the content so farđ Spunds like youâre starting one of the most exciting projects you will ever come across in our hobby. Rams are my personal favourites. Not just because of their colouring, but because of their beautiful personalities and nature. Please donât hesitate to contact me at any time with any questions etc. đđ
Awesome Video thanks
Beluga â€ïž . The passion you have for your is addictive đđđđ
I came across these in my LFS earlier today. I've heard about Black / Dark Knight Rams before but today was the first time I've ever seen them in real life.
I thought I'd be smart and do my research before I go back and probably buy some, and subsequently came across this video and your channel. Truly excellent and informative stuff Justin đ đ liked and subscribed đ
đđđŒ
Such a wonderful video . Can be heard in your voice these are your favourite fish đ.
Haha yes for sure! Thank you for watching
Congratulations Justin!! You are very good at what you do mate. The sky is the limit, look you are young talented and with the genuine passion for this hobbyâŠI donât know anyone who is more deserving of it! Very well done! and Iâm sorry I didnât realize the situation with your partner, but so glad you made it to hospital in time. Keep up the great work, from america to Australia đđđ»
Thank you so so much, my friend:) Your support for the channel since the beginning has not gone unnoticed and I appreciate all of the support and kindness you have shown. Don't be sorry at all! Britt is doing great and a huge number of people from JFR here sent messages in time for her to read before the op, so she was just so charged with blessings:)
Justin's Fishroom thatâs fantastic! Very glad she is doing wellđđđ» and I will support you as long as I am alive mate!
@@pelhamsaquatics Cheers to that! I appreciate it:)
Hi mate! Congratulations to you! I joined your group in FB and always check for updates on your channel. I know it's an old video but do you know how big is the tank in this video? More power to you!
I just got some black rams and I'm excited to try and spawn them thanks for this
Good luck! Youâll do great!!!
You are the man you are teaching me so much đđŒ
Hi there, David! Thanks! That means a lot and I am so happy you are finding the videos useful:)
Very nice way to explain
Thank you so much đ
Hi Justin, congrats on the 47c and wanted to just thank you for the coverage on Black Rams. With all Rams, I've learned as you state, the PH and Temps are not as important as the other factors, (e.g. good water quality). And finally someone has corroborated what I've been saying in my live-streams that higher temps do NOT mean better hatch-rates, they actually foster more fungus. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you đ Yes, higher temps can cause more fungus without anti fungal measures. But like anything in bio chemistry, it speeds up reactions and that includes embryo development đđ
@@JustinsFishRoom Thanks. I agree with that. I would like to ask then if you have found that Black Rams hatch in the same time period as do German Blues under the same temperature and conditions? I have noted a difference.
Congrats buddy! You earned it!
Thank you so much!!! The amount of support from this community is just tremendous:)
Great vid!
Thank you!
Congratulations Justin for being monitized here on CZcams. Fully deserved!!!
Thank you so much, my friend!
Love your content mate. Keep up the good work. And congratulations on your first 46c. It all has to start somewhere. And let me know if you are ever selling any of those little black beauties. Would love a pair for my planted tank đ
Hi there, Leigh! Thank you so so much - your kind words mean a lot. I am very excited to see where this channel goes! Are you following my FB page? There is a lot of content on there about the Black Celestial line and it is where I will be showing available stock:)
Thank you, for your info!
I just bought 2 Dark Knight Rams. I didn't request it, but looks as though I have Female and Male! I'm sterilizing a black stone to set up a in the tank.
Awesome video Justin!!!! Such a very informative video!!! You do such a amazing job in caring for all your rams. I'm so happy to hear that your partner is doing well!!! My name's Arnold btw . I'm hoping to get a big tank just for rams only . Keep up the amazing work
Hi there, Arnold! Great to finally know your name:) I am definitely backing you in your decision for a ram only tank. It is a tank like no other. Please let me know if I can assist or give any advice when you begin to get the setup going:)
@@JustinsFishRoom thankyou Justin ! I can't wait to get things started !! Will definitely come to you for advice mate !!!. Btw could I email you some pictures of my GBRS? So u can tell me if I have actually got 2 of each gender like I was told I had when I brought them
You should make a playlist of all the ram videos, I think it would really help us find all your ram videos easier. Great video I hope to breed rams soon.
Thank you for the tip! I will definitely get that done as soon as I get a chance this week:) I am glad you like the videos.
Glad to hear your partner is doing well!
Thank you, Jim:)
Brilliant video thank you for making this đ can I ask, once the fish have spawned and the eggs are on say one of the black pebbles, do you move them? And where do you move them ?
Thank you for any more advice đ
Congrats on being monetized! Well deserved!
Thank you, Richard! I appreciate that a lot:)
Outstanding. All the best to your partner.
đđŒđđŒđđŒ
Great video. Congratulations on becoming monetized.
Thank you, Darryl! I am looking forward to seeing what projects I will be able to do as the channel grows:)
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it:)
The best video justin I love it , how many litres the tank u use it ?
Thank you đđŒ
Great content! How do you anchor the Cabomba considering you do not have substrate in the tank? Since you do not have substrate in the tank how do you maintain the bio levels with only 2 sponge filters in your 3 ft tank?
Justin, it is amazing how many of your Rams are breeding like rabbits!!! Literally!!! Love the name Celestial Black Rams it is PERFECT!!! The Rams sold here in the USA are nothing compared to yours!!! NOTHING!!! You have mastered this breed to such higher heights that I only want your Rams!!!! No one compares to your ability to produce such a world wonder!!! Congratulations!!! Glad to see your partner will be fine!!! I also wanted to say that, YES enjoying the life cycle of your fish is an extremely important aspect of our hobby!!! That is why we are their keepers, to allow them to be happy in their glass boxes!!! Thank you for all the great tips on this video!!!
Wow, Eduardo! You always have a tendency to make me smile ear to ear when I read your amazing comments!!! Thank you so much for being such a strong supporter of the channel and my projects and just for being so kind - the world needs more people like you:) How are your fish going?
@@JustinsFishRoom Thank you and You're welcome! The GBR's are still young, they are figuring out their positioning within their tanks. They are healthy and happy, so far. One of the 40 gal tank is a quarantine tank, treating that one for Ich. The Green Neons seemed to have been infected, hoping I got it on time. So far no deaths. Three GBR's are in that tank. The other 40 gal tank has 6 GBR's, well planted and I just placed the "clay pots" with dark stones in those tanks. (Following your advice). I am planning on moving one of the GBR tanks to my classroom, my students want to learn about my hobby. LOL they crazy like I am! lol!!!
Hey Justin. A comment of yours in this video earned you a subscriber from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. When you said that we "need to enjoy them", that is something that I totally agree with. I have been wanting to get into fish and shrimp breeding for a few years now and have always said that I will only breed fish/shrimp that I like, that are pretty even if only in my eyes, and that I can enjoy having and breeding. Why have a fish that you do not like, that you do not enjoy? I found you through Keeping Fish Simple. Thanks for the videos and your time creating them!
Thank you, Gustavo! It is so true and this is the issue when people only care about money in this hobby - they lose track of the enjoyment that can come from this amazing hobby of ours! Welcome to the family and great to hear your amazing attitudes to fish keeping - you are more than welcome to message me at any time when you want to chat fish:)
@@JustinsFishRoomThanks for the response! Wish you the best of luck with your ongoing fish projects and CZcams channel! If one day I fly out to Australia, I will message you first to see if you would like for me to take you some fish from North America. Saludos y bendiciones from Guadalajara!!
@@gustavogarcia1948 Sounds like a plan, Gustavo! :)
Great video young man! Very informative and well layed out!!
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback. Do you breed rams?
congrats on your achievement bro... I have a request, I want you to discuss the fish that I think is on the rise at the moment, the polar blue parrot, and I want you to make a comparison between the polar blue parrot and the german blue ram.. what are the advantages and disadvantages between these two dwarf cichlid family fish..thank you for the useful content.. cheers..!!
Great suggestion! I will have a look into them. If I can get them locally bred I will make sure I get a pair of them to try and then I can do a bit of a comparison with them:)
Hey Justin, love your videos very informative do you currently have any black celestial rams for sale, Josh FR Sydney
Great looks like god was watching out for her, praise Jesus. Gorgeous fish I really want some, great video
Thank you!
Nice to have more than 1 pair at the same tank...once a pair spawn, probably it stimulates the ohers to do the same
Thanks for the info. New vĂdeos coming?
Nice video about these nice fish! Iike the natural variation more although the blacks are beauties, too. Do you think, 1 pair in 80cm tank (120l) is too little? And is one water change about 50 percent each week would be enough?
Hi there David! Some great questions there mate. One pair in a 120 litre is perfect. Yes đ that is a good amount of WC
Where are you located?
I love and really want some black rams
Keep up the good work mate
Thanks so much đđđŒ
Hi , Justin I loved this video and your other videos on the Rams. I know I asked on another video about how many pairs to keep in a mid sized tank. I was doing my research before getting a pair. I finally got a pair of Rams. They are very Black Celestials like the ones in this video. My tank is 3ft long I got two pairs, they each claimed a side of the tank as I set up a dragon stone center divide. They can swim over it and do as they are figuring out territory. But my question is once they figure out who has what side. How do I go about feeding them? Do you put some food on either side so they don't cross the line and fight? Any help for you or anyone else would be most helpful.
They should be fine during feeding:)
Hey, Justin Praying for your Partner and her best health. I am curious about your neckless it a Star of David and a cross? The reason I'm asking is that I have the same and I noticed it right away.
Hi there, Stephen! Thanks for your comment. I wear a crucifix because I am Christian. The Star of David that I wear represents my Jewish ancestry and a lot of the Jewish beliefs have shaped my Christian beliefs. Why do you wear yours?
@@JustinsFishRoom Yes! I do wear them. I have a hybrid Jewish roots belief as well. I love how the interpretation of scripture is lost through western eyes. It makes more sense when you know the meanings from a Jewish point of view. Peace my friend and I love the videos I'm learning a lot from you and Nick.
@@stepheneaglin8833 I couldn't agree more! I think people forget that faith is a personal journey. If certain things don't make sense then why not go searching for answers:)))
Hello justin, just wanna ask when do I start feeding the GBR fry they just started free swimming this morning, many thanks! always watching
Hi there! You can start introducing them to food now or tomorrow. But if you leave it after tomorrow the fry will begin to dieđ
@@JustinsFishRoom ok got it! thanks a lot again! i'll start introducing some egg yolks like the one I saw from your video đđđ
Congrats on being monetised. You were saying, enjoy your fish, well I have a true story to tell you. I had 2 pairs of rams in a 2 ft tank, they both spawned at the same time, each at either side of the tank. Everything was going great, both pairs had managed to get their fry to the free swimming stage. Well, this was the most amazing experience, I ever had, I was sitting in front of the tank watching them, they were being very aggressive, then I realised 1pr was stealing the fry from the other pair, I couldn't believe it. It was truly amazing, by the end of the day, I had one pair with all the fry, the other pair had nothing. So yeah, you never know how much joy they can bring, just from watching, I will never forget it. One week later the pair which had nothing laid again, so listen to Justin when he says watch and enjoy your fish.
Hahaha that is the funniest and most interesting story Iâve heard in a while! Thanks so much for sharing - made my day đ Fry stealing is a very common occurrence and I have even seen single male rams become broody over fry floating in a clear container (protecting them and bringing bits of food to them), so it truly is an observers hobby đđ
Glad you liked my true story, I've bred plenty of rams and this was the 1st and only time I've seen this happen, I wish I had recorded it, but back then, I never had a camera, come to think of it I never had a phone. I'm 60yrs old and have bred many different types of fish, over the years, but alas my body is worn out now,, so all, I can do is watch videos and follow great channels like yours. Thanks for all the time and joy u bring me.
Great video and information, not as preachy as some of your other videos. I will be "that guy" and say that I disagree that your way is the "ONLY" way to keep and "BREED" Black Rams. Your way is what undoubtedly works exceptionally well for you, this does not conclude that it will work as well for everyone else i.e. different international climates and water conditions. Overall, a great video.
I completely agree! Thank you very much for watching:)
Someone always has to be a dâck! Lighten up buddy! Donât take things so literal! After watching the video you clearly hear him say itâs just âhisâ way, not âthe onlyâ way! lol!!!
How large is this tank? I heard 12-14 rams but did not hear how many liters/gallons is this tank. Thanks đ
Hi Justin, Great video, Great looking fish. Do you take the eggs out or do you let the parents raise them then take out the fry?
if you take fry out how do you remove them?
Thank you! I leave the eggs with the parents until I can see the embryos in the egg. At this point I will go ahead and get their hatching container ready (*Watch the video on this if you haven't already*). I usually don't leave the fry with the parents after wriggler stage at least due to other fish wanting to 'steal' and or eat the fry. Hope this answers your questions:)
@@JustinsFishRoom Cheers for the reply Justin, i think i watched the other video just after i posted this comment lol
I had a You Tube morning
Hi Justin!! Loved your vedios!! Please check for halfbeak fish breeding....never saw any vedios... â€ïžđ
Hi there, Samson! I definitely haven't forgotten about your video suggestion, my friend. I have it written down as a reminder. I will have to get that going once I get more fish tanks as, at the moment, I am filling all the tanks with all the Ram juveniles I am producing. Thanks for your ongoing kindness and support:)
Thank you for your reply!! Just too curious to see your version brother â€ïžđ
@@samsonm1217 Definitely! I can't wait to get them!
Justin, do u let them hatch in that tank or do remove each rock and place in holders (how do you place/sit the holder or plastic container floating in tank ? Is it hooked over the edges or just sitting there?)
Plus if leaving each rock with eggs in there how do you stop other pairs/fish from eating new brown fry? Do their own parent do a good enough job at protecting each of their own spawns ?
I intend on in,y having my dark ram (as u clarified today as a female ..lol , although it was thought of a a male ((but bought originally as a female)) totally confusing .
Anyhooo she is a she, so il keep her and since her electric blue partner is not doing so well and unsure if he will survive (checked on him after work n heâs resting on substrate a lot but did come out to eat worms) I want to buy another dark ram male ? Or an electric blue male for the dark female to breed with. Can we buy from you if Iâm in perth? Iv never bought from the eastern states before and Iâd prefer not to as the long travel concerns me and I hate to see a fish die just coz we humans transport it miles n miles.
Is it wise to get 2 more rams, so the outcome would then be having 2 females and one maleâŠor is that a recipe for disaster , will the pair up pick in the single girl?
I recent,y had up to 6 tanks going but with bad back,neck n wrist keeping so many tanks n doing w/changes is really hard for me and the tanks were suffering in condition. I want to cut back to just 3 tanks, ideally just 2 but if breeding il need to keep that 3rd growout running .
You could definitely get two more rams if you wanted to. I donât unfortunately sell to WA due to that long journey as well as the logistics.
Cut back to the number of tanks you can manageđ
Great vid, I love both your and KeepingFishSimpleâs videos! I breed Black Rams in the Washington DC area but they are not as totally dark as yours. Yours are stunning. Was wondering what tips you might have for ensuring a large spawn of eggs? I routinely get somewhere around the 100-125 range but would like to see it a bit higher
Hi there, Chris! Just would like to personally welcome you to my channel:) Thank you for watching this video and I am glad you enjoyed it.
One thing I can say is that a good quality diet doesn't just make your breeding pairs healthy, but also makes both the spawn sizes larger and the success of that spawn higher. I have video on how I made my fish food that I feed all my rams so I would go check that out.
Also, keeping the water clean is a huge factor in successful spawns. These guys are used to being constantly supplied with freshwater in the wild and whilst we can't exactly mimic these conditions, we can get as close to them as possible:)
Contact me on Instagram if you would like me to answer any more questions so I can be a bit more detailed:)
@@JustinsFishRoom awesome! Thanks brother
if my tds high like 300 its hard to keep and dread her ?
Hello mate . I have a question!
I have 3 black rams but they only eat brine shrimp . Do you feed only brine? Or what kinds of food do you feed them?? Please recommend it.
You can crush up some high quality pellets and flake and feed it with BBSđđ
I have all the setup in a tank. Drift wood, catappa leaves, black stone, plants etc. PH 6.5 , Temp 28*C . The only thing i dont have is space for 3feet thank. đ„ș. What is the minimum size to breed a pair of this german ram? Or its better to dispose my Rams into a pond where they are better suited to open weather?
I wouldnât put them in a pond as this could be detrimental to their health with exposure to various parasites. A minimum size for one breeding pair to be successful is at least 2 ft by 1 ft by 1 ftđđ
Do you have an online store ? Where do you sell your fish ?
Thanks
Hi there, Nima. I am just a hobbyist breeder but when I do have fish for sale I will post pictures of them on Facebook @ Aussie Ram Farm. GO check it out and I keep everyone updated on there:)
Would you ever ship to the UK? I would really love one of those black rams. Such a great breeder!
Thank you, Bob! I really appreciate that. Unfortunately I don't have the means to ship outside of Australia. If it was up to me I would definitely do it though:)
@@JustinsFishRoom Hopefully one day Justin! One last question; could I know what your water hardness is please? Iâve heard that hard water can prevent eggs from getting fertilised by the male.
I have a black ram pair that have laid eggs 3 times. The first time on a leaf. They hatched and then they ate them. The last 2 times they laid them in the substrate and then ate then within 2 days. I was gonna remove them and hatch then myself but I'm not sure about gathering them from the substrate. Do you have any pointers? I really want to get some fry from them.
Just replied to this on the other two comments đđ
$$$$ đ
Good stuff bro, what's the name of the plant u mentioned that filters so well?
Hi there, Dlion! The plant that I mentioned in the video is known as Cabomba but it does go by a few other names so just type Cabomba in google and you should find it quickly:)
@@JustinsFishRoom Thanks Bro...Hoorah!!
I wish i could find Black Rams like that in the USA.
I wish I could send some over mate đȘ
Have you had any success in raising fry in community tanks?
No, unfortunately I haven't due to having so many other fish in my community tank. The parents will only get them to about the free swimming stage and that is it. However, I do find that the number of spawns increases with a greater number of fish together:)
Have you got any for sale?
Do you also feed like brine shrimp to entice spawning? I lost my male female is beautiful. Can I buy another male for her? Will they pair up?
Hi there! I don't think I have seen you comment before so a BIG welcome! To answer your questions:
1. I don't use BBS to stimulate breeding. I have personally not seen any benefit of doing this, however, some breeders claim that it works.
2. Your female will definitely pair up with another male. Just make sure you source your next Ram from a good quality breeder:)
Hope this helps:)
What's the name of the plant you mentioned?
Hello. Is it possible to use coconut shell instead of pebble?
You definitely could đđ
How many times a day should I feed GBR fry when they started free swimming?
As many times as you want and the more the merrier. However, I would just do twice a day with a water change an hour after each:)
do you have any for sale?
What is the plants name you are referring to in this video?
Ambullia or cambomba
Is it true that if you canât find black rams then just get gold head balloon rams or other types and get them to have spawn and their would be a chance that some of the fryâs might be black rams?
This would be somewhat true in America where the base genetics come from an outcross with a gold ram. The fry that come from the black knight spawns are black knights and golds. So, the short answer is possibly and I would say less likely in balloon ramsđđ
@@JustinsFishRoom Thank you for the quick response. Subbed
How do I get some of your black rams?
Could you imagine if someone lined bred the speckles to be on the lips or around the eyes along with it being black
You should do this!!! Sounds like a celestial on steroidsđ
Iâve had troubles with aggression in my 3 rams, 2 black females and a blue male, any advice? Theyâre in 4 foot tank with good territories on each side and itâs divided with water wisteria. The goal is just to keep them not bothered with breeding right now. Iâm going to rescape with more driftwood, rocks and plants for more line of site breaks and probably try a small schooling fish a bit later.
It sounds like your future plan is going to be great to prevent further aggression. I would just focus on getting that drift wood and some larger plants such as Anubias to give them some more out of sight areas. Let me know how you go with it. If the aggression does continue and itâs bad I would try identify who the aggressor is and then seperate that individual đđ
@@JustinsFishRoom Awesome. Iâm getting some driftwood and ordering plants likely in the next week or two so Iâll try some anubias. I have a divider to separate the injured ram for right now
Thatâs awesome đđ» Sounds like youâve got everything planned to the T!
Hello JustinâŠIve bred n raised many many rams for the past three years with great success. GBRâs EBRâs âŠwhat you call BLUE/BLACKSâŠhowever, just recently I successfully bred n hatched a spawn from what you would call your BLACK CELESTIALS. For me it was clear to see that it was not a good pairingâŠBlack x Black⊠something is not pairing right in the genetic profile/dna structureâŠim not a biologist but its not a great pairing. If you donât mind, but what has been your experience with pairing your black celestial x black celestial? Thank you!
Yes, this is true, my friend. You can breed BC X BC for only one or two gens before the compounding of the hitchhiking genes begins. Itâs best to partner them up with a dark line ram to improve quality đđ
@@JustinsFishRoom Yes, I agree as well. Thank you for confirming youâre experiencing the same. Have a great day my friend!
How do you break those flower pots in half just perfect ???
Hahaha! It is a bit of an art...I just use a hammer and lightly tap the pot starting from the base corner. Once I have a crack forming I guide the crack where I want it to go by slightly tapping with the hammer. Sometime the pots just make their own weird shapes:)
@@JustinsFishRoom haha awesome man. Thank you. Iâm going to try that now !!! Time to bread some rams ! Woohoo. Keep up your awesome work love your videos man.
How did u get your blue black rams? Neon blue ram mated to black ram? And how did u do it?
My beautifully coloured Blue black rams are just a by-product of my outcross between my celestial line and my GBR line. Dark rams (the rams I started with) are similar but no where near as colourful. Hope this helpsđđ
@@JustinsFishRoom thanks! U do have gorgeous fish! I've never had fish tank before but I'm very interested in getting one! I enjoy your videos by the way. Learning lots!
@@lauradecker4213 That's great! Thank you so much
What is the best food for them?
I have a video on the homemade food I do for my fish - go check it out đđ
I'm looking for a trio of black rams can you help me
Is it required to crossbreed rams to have blue black lime rams
You can get these from the Black line as a by product when the fish arenât producing true đđ
Cool water change? Explain please
Exactly the same as with stimulating spawning with Cory catfish:) I just do a water change every second day and they will begin to get ready to spawn.
@@JustinsFishRoom how many degrees cooler say 80 if the water is 84? 1/3 water change? I have always heated the water up to match tank water temp. I have heard this 2x now. never knew it would work on rams too. Thanks for your awesome work with rams and sharing your info it is invaluable.
Any farms that export them to India?
whats the name of the plant you're talking about in this video
Ambullia also sold as Cambomba in pet stores
What gh are you keeping them ?
You should keep them at between 2-6 ghđ
Saya ingin membeli black ramirezi?
Everything I'm researching is saying to have them in lower ph water so 6 and below? I'm guessing they can be in a wide range??
Iâve never heard of rams being kept successfully below 6.0. But if that is what works for you then go for it. Otherwise, just stick to the suggestions here đđ
@@JustinsFishRoom well google and forums are saying lower ph but every keeper I've watched has successfully used anything in the parameters you've set. The only thing I've seen that people have keep track of is ppm. Do you have a cheaper meter that you recommend?
By ppm do you mean TDS? I donât keep track of TDS. I just look at temp, pH and ammonia cycles. Everything else doesnât seem to matter with Rams in my experience đđ
@@JustinsFishRoom Thank you so much for the response it really helps having someone with experience to talk you thru things! One more thing. Have you had a problem with substrate and the black rams? Im reading that they prefer sand but I have a coarse gravel tank. Im thinking I should cap it with a good layer of sand or remove it and just use sand which is going to be alot of work!
Do you sell that Celestial Black Ram line?
Hi there! Thanks for watching the video. My Facebook page is where I will be displaying rams that I will eventually sell. Go check it out @Aussie Ram Farm
Bruhh...I slept through the 1st minute.
Do you sale your black celestial rams interested to buy a few
Yes, I do sell them through my Facebook page Aussie Ram farm
Do you sell/ship these?
Hi there! Yes, I will be. Go check out my FB page @Aussie Ram Farm where I put updates on the ram progress. You will be able to see when they are available:)
Just wanted to let you know how instructional and inspirational you've been... czcams.com/video/pY50HPL6CBM/video.html We just sold our first batches to our local fish stores and wanted to thank you for all your knowledge, your generous sharing, and overall promotion of the breed. Of course we have a ton of questions but have been hesitant to bug ya... but we would appreciate any help as we stumble through the hobby/business world of Rams. Any experience with sudden and massive air bladder issues with a large portion of a fry population (1 month old) when growing out in isolation (100+ in a 1/2 gallon Tupperware)? We're thinking it was overcrowding and poor water maintenance... trying to fast them and hope they recover, but they're really lethargic, side swimming, and bottom dwelling on their side. Good on ya and keep up the amazing work!
