Is it just me or was anyone else sitting as still as possible just watching that video so not to spook them haha. Well done Mark, I hope this works out, looking at a spare 30x30 cube tank I have sitting around. There was some nice German Blue Rams in my LFS last weekend, I can feel another attempt coming on.
I love the movements of Rams. They have short bursts of speed and angle their bodies all different ways, stay still and even backup. Seeing the juveniles do this and acting feisty with each other makes me laugh.
Heros breeding, Bristlenoses breeding and Endlers of course breeding too. Shrimps starting to multiply. :) Serpaer tetras spawning nearly every morning and sometimes the Otocinclus. I am happy.
lovely Mark , i am just setting up a 16 gallon cube to breed my german blues but i think that will have to wait till spring as its in the garage . The bug bites arrived safely and my panda corry's love them 👍 thank's Gary.
excellent 2 part video . covers both rearing off fry . was you surprise how good them parents was ? i was . love the condition of them rams . stunning ...... thanks for the info
Hi Mark great vid thank you. That scratching the female did looked a lot like discus do when they have gill flukes. Could be worth a wee treatment of praziquantel. And then the male was having a go at you through the glass by the look of it, I think you spooked him a bit. Do you have a part 3 with the fry now grown up? Cheers!
Hi Mark, watched both your Vids 👍🏻👍🏻I've got a male and female who have dug a hole and seemingly layed in my sand substrate. I have a 250l so I've devided it as its a community tank. I had a couple of guppies in with them for a while until the male started charging them so they came out. It seems now the female sometimes chases the male, do you think I should take him out? I haven't seen any movement from the females laying area but she's still watching over it. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Mark, i can just imagine how amazing it must feel seeing these fry developing in front of your eyes :) What about those you put in the nursery box? P.S. when were the dithers removed?
Great clutch of fry and beautiful parents! Would you consider doing a breeding video of Red Neon Blue Eye Paskai Rainbowfish (Pseudomugil Luminatus) ? I hope so... I'm getting a shipment of 9 young adults tomorrow ☺️ and I can use all the help I can get! Lol
MARK'S AQUATICS Oooh, does that mean we will be seeing the jellyfish tank come to life? My fingers are crossed but anything you do is priceless! Thanks for all your hard work
Hi mark cracking video . I've got a pair of rams which have had eggs and now they are wiggling can you tell me please when do I start to feed the fry.many thanks
My GBRams that have eaten their last 2 batches of babies have the back and sides of their own tank covered, as well as a top that partially covers the tank. I just took black paper and made a cover for the front of the tank leaving about a 2.5" strip on top open. Do you think I should not turn on their light? Are they more comfortable with a dark tank while breeding and raising fry? The closest I got to live fry was swimmers for a few days to a week then they ate them all. I didn;t trust them and took some fry and managed to raise some that are now in my community tank looking good.
Hi Mark love the videos my rams just spawned and I'm waiting on my microworm culture is there anything else I can feed them if my culture doesn't arrive in time 👍
allo mate. I was just watching this back again and don't remember an update on the fry. did they make it or did it all go south? love rams. my favourite fish. shame I can't get them to breed because my London water is 8.2ph and smells like a swimming pool. I get through so much dechlorinator. I need to invest in an RO filter.. keep up the good work mate. I'm working on ideas for my channel, but not going live till I've got enough content.
Rams are my absolute favorite fish. When I have tanks I always have at least a pair. It is also my nightmare fish - I must have had 400 spawns when I was half professional. How many did I raise? Ten. Out of a potential 80 000 eggs. I wanted the parents to take care of the young, so I never took out the eggs for hatching them by themselves. I have tried so many different set ups, different strands of rams (including wild caught) but never really managed to raise more than ten. BUT. I have not given up yet! :D
@@MARKSAQUATICS I was really surprized that your pair took care of the fry. Perhaps you where too? :) Since it is my favorite fish all-time I have a dream of one day setting up a really big tank for them. In Cichlid Atlas I have read that in the wild it is most often the males that raise the fry alone so it would be interesting to have 5-6 males and 1-2 females in a very big tank. Fun fact: this is the only cichlid where the genus name ends with -cromis instead of -chromis. The person that named them wrote wrong and it went through (also according to Cichlid Atlas). :)
Love seeing the baby fish parade!!! Lol. Watching the parents doting over them is so neat!!! Thanks for great video!!! 🌟💫⭐️
You make it look so easy Mark. Makes me want to have a go. So cute. Thanks Mark
Amazing video Mark thanks once again for sharing it with us 👍I think all rams are beautiful looking tropical fish!.

Love your videos. You are amazing and I have learned so much from watching you. Thank you so much!!!!
Simply amazing. So wonderful to see. Could watch them for hours.
Nice little video mark as always. The rams are beautiful in colour . Will be good to watch them grow .
another great video mark thank you. the pond guru is the man been a fan for years. :)
Your videos are so awesome❣️ Been thinking of getting some Gold Rams but need another tank, lol.
Outstanding!!!!! You are a true inspiration.
Keep the good work up enjoyed every one of your videos😀
I love the movements of Rams. They have short bursts of speed and angle their bodies all different ways, stay still and even backup. Seeing the juveniles do this and acting feisty with each other makes me laugh.
Great work my friend 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
You're great man
Great vid as usual mate👍🏻
How cool was this experiment! If only I could have rams again, only thing I've got currently breeding are bristlenose
Good video Mark.. Amazing
Heros breeding, Bristlenoses breeding and Endlers of course breeding too. Shrimps starting to multiply. :) Serpaer tetras spawning nearly every morning and sometimes the Otocinclus. I am happy.
I love this I've watched it several times I think it's my favorite video of all times! 😍

No problem Gary. In the winter I tape polystyreen to the outside of the tank. Keep the heat really well.
🤙
I'm sold. as soon as my YOYO's naturally die off, I'm getting rams.
excellent 2 part video . covers both rearing off fry . was you surprise how good them parents was ? i was . love the condition of them rams . stunning ...... thanks for the info
Good parents are common.
you make it look so easy
Great video Mark really enjoy these breeding videos you do, more please. What Ph is your water please
Beautiful fish Mark! Would these be okay with Sparkling Gouramis?

my free swimming gold ram babies seem to be too small to take the microworms. what should I do? Great video as usual Mark.
Who is disliking this mans videos?

Hi Mark,
Any chance you could walk through how to prepare those worms as I'm about to try breeding rams
Can you do infusoria even though the rans are bigger?? Quickest answer as possible pls
Hi Mark, i can just imagine how amazing it must feel seeing these fry developing in front of your eyes :) What about those you put in the nursery box? P.S. when were the dithers removed?
Dithers are removed ASAP, and it’s usually a good idea to rear with parents whenever possible.
Love your baby fish videos!
Any update on the Rams? Are they still with you or did they become food?
Yes I've kept two and sold the rest.
You should try to breed dwarf pufferfish.
Great clutch of fry and beautiful parents! Would you consider doing a breeding video of Red Neon Blue Eye Paskai Rainbowfish (Pseudomugil Luminatus) ? I hope so... I'm getting a shipment of 9 young adults tomorrow ☺️ and I can use all the help I can get! Lol
Winters coming soon so I'll be running down the fish breeding videos until it warms up again.👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS Oooh, does that mean we will be seeing the jellyfish tank come to life? My fingers are crossed but anything you do is priceless! Thanks for all your hard work
if my gold rams lay eggs on the same substrate do i have remove the other 4 fish in my 15 gallon tank in order for them to raise them?
Hi mark cracking video . I've got a pair of rams which have had eggs and now they are wiggling can you tell me please when do I start to feed the fry.many thanks
As soon as they're free swimming. 😀👍

This is the tank as it was when they raised the batch to free swimming for a week. czcams.com/video/JLZxXhNIL3c/video.html

Hi. Use the same food you feed the parents just crush it up nice a fine ok
@@MARKSAQUATICS thanks Mark 👍🐠
allo mate.
I was just watching this back again and don't remember an update on the fry.
did they make it or did it all go south?
love rams. my favourite fish. shame I can't get them to breed because my London water is 8.2ph and smells like a swimming pool. I get through so much dechlorinator.
I need to invest in an RO filter..
keep up the good work mate.
I'm working on ideas for my channel, but not going live till I've got enough content.
All the fry have grown up and gone to new homes now. 😀👍
Yes I would invest in a ro system they are quite cheap now.
arhh lovly and sarah it the best name ever ...it means princess
which one is female? I saw both with a spike on the dorsal fin...
Can you actually move the eggs and parents on the other tank? Will they continue to look after the eggs?
No if you move both parents and eggs they will move likely eat or leave then
Can you tell som plants thich dont need eney spacal cair and can grow fast and help in dreeding fish
Egeria Najas ( Anacharis Narrow leaf) Or hornwort are very easy to grow .👍😀

Your right. It's very hard to come across a pair that will raise the fry.
@@MARKSAQUATICS I was really surprized that your pair took care of the fry.

Looks at own pairs.
Umm....
can i put rams along with my schooling(about 100ish) cardinal tetra? please help me answer this, i dont wanna hurt both cardinal and ram..thx
They will be fine. If they breed in the tank they will chase away the tetras as they will eat the fry but won't hurt them.
How many grew out ? Is there an update ?
that´s a lot of babies! -wonder how many will grow up...
Hopefully most of them.😀
About 50/200 present here.
How much liter is your aquarium to breed? I am Dutch
20L 😀👍
This video is old now, but still a chance i might get a answer, but are rams ok in community tanks? with corys and maybe gouramis & tetras in 55g?
So long as they don’t start getting broody over young.
When did you take the dither fish out, Mark? The babies are fantastic, love watching them!
I took them out the day before they became free swimming. Lured the Endlers to the surface with a bit of flake and scooped them out with clear jug .
After the fry have hatched do you have to keep the parents in the breeding tank? So they don't eat the babies.
Hi Donald.
It's best to remove the adults . Some are good parents but others will eat the young if startled or inexperienced.
@@MARKSAQUATICS At what point should they be removed?
@@donaldstevens5034 as soon as they're free swimming
3-6 weeks is a good time, but you do as you wish.
How did the other ones go? I'm thinking of getting a pair of Gold rams :D
All grown up now and gone to new homes. 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS When are you going to do the Rasbora maculata breeding video? :D
Hi mark, I have a balloon gold ram. Is the breeding method still the same? They can breed right?
They can breed, but because of there body shape they find it hard to fertilise the eggs.
Other than that It's the same method.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thanks mark, will give it a try and upate u if theres any news..
How do you do your water worm culture Mark
I've done a video on Walter worms check it out. 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS I'll do a search Buddy. Hope you're on the mend👍
I hav german blue rams a few days ago they layed eggs but aftar afew houres they did eat the eggs why i dont know!?
Rams like it to be very quiet when breeding so stay well away from the tank 👍😀
Once the fry hatch remove the parents and raise them without them.
They might be inexperienced or stressed. If they don’t learn after 3-5 spawns, do it yourself.
Where i could get those worm
You can get cultures off Ebay.👍😀
We can find those worm nturalee
my rams have still to learn :c
Good luck, it takes about 3 spawns to get right...
But how and when do you get the parents out?, how do you feed the parents also? You didn't describe those matters in your interesting videos...
What’s water worms? Isn’t it micro worms?
Hi. yes walter worms are one of the smallest micro worms, great for feeding larger egg layer first foods. 😀
