Came home to a surprise my gold ram laid eggs... hmm not quite sure what to do since i do not have any kind of fry tank set up or anything like that...

If you have any other fish in there, remove them now before they get harrassed. I would just leave the parents in there.

Only thing in there right now is a gourami, ocats and cories...

The momma and daddy will garde the eggs but the other fish will wont to eat them. Ones the parents get tired from garding they them selfs will eat the eggs. to keep the other from them.

hmm we shall see lol... i may buy a breeder net just in case today anyways for future use since i guess i have a breeding pair...

[troy tucker]

I can tell you they are a lot like Angel fish. They hatch out to be wiggallies in 48 hours and about 5 days start free swimming. then you have to feed them.

Thanks Troy! What exactly do I feed the little guys... assuming they hatch?

[mistahoo]

You can feed them micro worms, crushed flakes, hikari first bites.

[troy tucker]

they can eat fresh hatched brine shrimp. no more then 1 day old. hikari sales it frozen but its easy to hatch brine shrimp your self and freeze it.

All the things that mista listed are good too.

+1 for no more than 1 day old brine shrimp. Any older and their nutritional value goes down. Chester, I have micro worms if you want to try them. I use it to feed all my nano fish and fry. They are packed with a lot of nutrients.
