These are the new additions to my tank. I was wondering how I would know if they have mated or are mating? Also, do they lay eggs? Would I need to put them in a separate tank?

Re: Mating Rams
German Rams - Here is how I got mine back in the day to breed.
* Water of a pH level of less than 7.0
* Mine breed in a small 20g tank and I have heard that they will breed very successfully in 10g too.
* They need a flat surface to lay eggs on. I used a piece of slate back in the day, they clean it off and lay eggs on it.
* Temp needs to be high. Think 80-82..
* They will breed in a community tank (after the first time they did this I moved them to their own tank)
If you want them in a community tank I could keep a pair together with something like tetra's clouds or something else the schools, but not disturbingly fast fish like danio's that might stress them a little.
What fish do Jesper have
180 WC T. Moorii Chilambo +1 Petro trewavasae.
110 Cyps, WC Xeno Spilopterus Kipili WC/F1/F2 T. sp red Kiku
58 S. Decorus

Re: Mating Rams
At least with mine you can tell it's a pair right away - the only fish I have really "attached" to each other.
Mine normally try to breedt in community tank - watch them cleanning stones and wood, I miss it most of the time. Never could keep eggs there for > 48 hrs.
I used 10gal as a breeding tank, kept female there for ~3 days, male for ~3 weeks, and moved ~50% fry into community tank in ~2 mnths (still this way)

Re: Mating Rams
I know this is an old post but I also have German Blue Rams. They have spawned several times and guard their eggs for 3 days and then eat them. :(
They just can't get it right. I never tried to move the eggs to another tank. I got them to spawn by accident. I put a clay flower pot in the tank and the
next morning they spawned on the pot. I now have 3 flower pots in their tank. Hopefully one day I will finally have fry. I have 2 mating pairs and 1 lonely male, his mate died about 2 months ago. Now he just stays at the back of the tank and mopes around. I feel so sorry for him. He only comes out to eat
then back to the corner he goes.A house without a puffer is not a Home.
