    How I appreciate the time you put into your videos some of them like this one I don't appreciate very much because I feel like you put some fish in with other fish that just don't belong together and if people do the research they will not to put them together. I feel you've done it for video purposes only and that's just not cool like I said again I appreciate the time and effort you put into some of your videos but some are more than others on this like this one it's not cool I'm sorry just watching it, it seems it was done on purpose I'm sure you have people watching your videos just for that purpose as well. I'm still subscribed I'm still watched but some of them I'm just, I can't do it I won't do it and I will comment if I don't like them I'm not trying to be an ass Because I know how nature works and know how it's supposed to go But we don't have to force it either. Just my opinion and I know it doesn't mean much but thanks for listening

    I swear to all things holy I’ve been watching for a new video from you. I also swear this video could not have come at a better time. I just got 2 pairs of GBRs. One female is black. You are my favorite KZread channel. Your work by far surpasses all other channels. This video is going to be of a huge help to me and my new fish. Previous videos of yours have helped me learn quite a bit. The mystery snails video, kribs, you’ve helped my fish room a ton. I appreciate your work. Thank you so much for the time and effort. It takes an incredible amount of work to do what you do and I once again thank you. I’ll be watching this video multiple times.

    Wow.....this is far and away the best video I have seen regarding the care and breeding of any tropical fish. Rams have always had a special place in my heart. I love everything about them, their beauty, their disposition, their stances. At 74, I am just getting back into keeping tropical fish. I just set up a 37 gallon tank, and I am awaiting plants and some hardscape. In the meantime I am cycling it with some floating plants, bacteria, liquid fert. and water changes. I hope to get some rams within a month or so and can hardly wait. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable information. I subbed and will do some binge-watching for a while. Take care.

OK, you get the idea. I don't know what video equipment Dave uses to capture such close-ups but the detail has to be seen to be believed. I have bred German Blue Rams so I must say a big 'thank you' to Dave for this first-class video presentation.

    Best video on german blue rams I’ve ever seen, I’d actually say this is a documentary, calling it a video wouldn’t make it justice. My 4 month old pair just started breeding, they’ve laid eggs in the community tank and I had to remove the leaf with the eggs, 20-30 tiny babies hatched, lots of the eggs were white maybe because of improper fertilisation or maybe because of fungus, I’ve added an air stone to the small container for air circulation but still didn’t help much. Next time I’ll give them a tank to breed and raise their fry, the process is amazing and wonderful to watch. Thank you for the effort of making these videos, new subscriber here!

    I used to breed blue rams years ago and agree that choice of quality stock is paramount to breeding success. The stock available today has been 'interfered with' too much, leading to weak strains which are prone to disease and poor parenting skills. I use rainwater in my tanks but have to store it for weeks before I can use it due to nitrite in the water - always a good policy to test it prior to adding it to your aquarium. I never got rams to live beyond 26-27 months. Thanks for posting a very instructive video. The photography was superb.

    I live in west Wales where there is little or no air pollution. I have a concrete-tiled roof and a polypropylene water butt. I'm assuming that the nitrogen in the atmosphere dissolves in the rain and falls as nitrous acid, showing up as nitrite ion when I test the water. I decant the water into containers and leave it to stand for a few weeks. There is a tiny amount of sediment in the bottom of these and presumably some nitrifiers, as the NO2 disappears leaving 0-10 mg.L of nitrate.

    Hmmm, interesting thank you for replying. I always let it rain for 10-15 minutes before I begin collecting rainwater to help reduce contamination from dust / dirt that collects on the roof. I wonder if putting a sponge filter in the water butt would be helpful ?

    ​@@TheDave333 I'm sure you're right, though an air stone, or anything that gently circulates the water, would improve gaseous exchange and improve oxygen levels. Chuck in some lava rock or alfagrog and the water butt can probably oxidise nitrite almost as quickly as it arrives. I'm not sure if you're aware, but recent studies using DNA libraries, have shown that the micro-organisms responsible for most of the oxidation of N in our tanks are archaea rather than bacteria. This new understanding supercedes the previous theory (accepted as gospel for decades) concerning nitrosomnas and nitrobacter bacteria. There are also comammox bacteria at work. The single most potent limiting factor is always oxygen. Happily archaea are not negatively impacted by low pH, though with low conductivity water pH becomes somewhat meaningless anyway. The point is that archaea survive in some of the harshest environments on earth, making water butts an easy ride, so give them oxygen and they'll do the job. Some folks on the UKAPS forums keep daphnia cultures in their rainwater collectors, not for fish feeding but to indicate that the collected water is fish safe. I thought that was pretty smart, so I thought I'd pass it on :)

    Thank you so much for sharing this information. . . It certainly makes sense that the more "primitive" of the prokaryotes would be the one to carry out such an important function for all life on the planet. It also makes sense that oxygen would be the critical limiting factor. Adding an airstone is brilliant ! Simple beautiful. Thank you. :-)

    This Saturday 11/30/19 , I will be setting up a “species only” new tank 29 gallons, for my electric blue pair. So far they have spawned twice. But the tank they are currently in is a community tank. There is no way they can protect their eggs where they are. So by the next morning all the eggs are gone. :(. So the new tank is going in just for them. :). I know that nothing goes fast with proper aquarium keeping. .

    Hey Dave! Thank you for this great video, I've watched it more than 5 times already in its entirety and am always learning something new! I finally managed to have my pair spawn and now have little fry wrigglers! I have a question regarding water changes for the fry, how often and how much do you recommend I do it once the fry are free swimming? And do I have to feed them before they start free swimming? Do you recommend I do anything to the light I have for the plants or keep the scheduled lighting as it was before? Thank you so much for the amazing resource as a hobbyist!

  • @TheDave333

    Hi ! Thanks for watching the video, and congratulations on the wrigglers!!! How often you have to change the water will depend on a lot of different things like the tank size, number of fish, how heavily you feed, etc. . . In a 10 gallon tank with a pair of Rams, I change one gallon of water everyday. I try to be as stealthy as I can, so I don't disturb the parents and the babies. I put the freshwater back in using airline tubing, and gravity. I put the airline tubing in the top of the sponge filter outflow, so that everything is nice and gradual. If the new water is retuned very slowly it doesn't even have to be the same exact temperature. You can use an airline control valve to adjust how quickly the water is put back into the tank. You can change larger quantities of water, less frequently if you like, but the key is to return the freshwater slowly, so there's no rapid change in temp., pH. etc. . . . Either way the key is to not panic the parents, and to not make large changes to the water chemistry. Slow and steady, minimal stress. Don't feed the babies until they're free-swimming, but keep feeding the parents. As long as you don't have a lot of algae growing, I would keep the lighting schedule the same, and if it's on an automatic timer, it's even better. Best of luck, and let me know how it all works out. :-)

    @@TheDave333 I think I made a terrible mistake of overfeeding the tank :( I can't gauge how much to feed and squirted a good amount of food into the tank. I'm waking up to find less and less fry everyday. I only used it twice and have since tried to feed them powder repashy and am waiting for Hikari first bites and my starter micro worms to come in! In terms of amount of food, how do you determine how much is enough per feeding? Thank you for the video link! EDIT: Update, my pair ate the remaining fry for some reason :( It looked like they were moving them around, but I noticed the female did not release the fry after a while. I don't see any fry anymore in the tank.

    @neverLamp Sorry to hear about the babies. It's really hard to gauge how much to feed, especially with prepared foods. One approach is to feed them way less than you think they'll eat, and then use a magnifying glass to look at their bellies to see if they're full. That can be difficult to see. And this is where live foods come in handy, because they can live in the water for quite a while before dying and decomposing. So, the fish have a long time to find them and eat them all. The good news is they'll lay eggs again soon!!! In the mean time, be sure that your water parameters are in check. Things will go better next time . . . :-)

    I was breeding these rams and i noticed that the male started to attack the female the baby fish had already been born and were free swimming. I also noticed that female was in a corner hiding and then one of the baby fry got near her and she ate it. The male was the only parent still protecting the fry could it be possible that she started eating them and the male got defensive. (I have taken them both out the aquarium at this point since the fry are 9 days old and free swimming just as a precaution.)

To me they are placid and sociable, anytime I have to do work on their tank (175 Litres here in Australia or 3 foot) they always follow me around to check out what I'm doing. I've had many set-ups over the years from full planted tanks to pure Chichlid tanks (6-foot plus) and many more but these little guys are awesome! I would like to see them breed but I have a couple Pictus Catfish and 3 x Clown loaches so I might need another tank for them.
