Back on Black Rams

[Charlyc]

I circled back to Black rams; these were advertised as German Black Knight Rams and they are as dark as my Pitch-Black Rams that I had in the past from the coralbandit line that I bought from LizStreithorst.
I received 2 pairs of short fins and 3 pairs of long fins and at this time they are at their QT tanks. I actually traded L46 juvenile plecos for these and I am extremely happy with the deal. Today I should receive 2 more pairs of short fins from another vendor, and he called his Midnight Black Rams.

Best of luck with them, Chuck.

Those are some nice dark rams. Trading L46 juveniles for them sounds like a great deal. The terra cotta saucers in the QT tanks are a good touch, they'll have spawning sites ready once they settle in. Looking forward to seeing how the short fins and long fins color up side by side.

The Midnights came DOA

Didn't AC/DC do a song.about this?

 

[Charlyc]

It looks like they decided to spawn wile in the QT.

 

[Charlyc]

All gone now

The eggs or the fish? Either way, I'm sorry to hear this, they're beautiful fish

 

[Charlyc]

The eggs but it's understandable having 2 pairs in the same tank.

 

[Lucy]

Hope you (they) have better luck next time!

My experience with the blacks was they were the best parents or homicidal maniacs. I am sure you will have great experiences with them. I would think you could house a pair of rams with the zebras.

Hi Liz~!

As long as you are breeding Black Rams, you might as well corner the market by breeding Black Ruby Barbs too. Lol.

You'd probably have just as much earning potential with the Black Ruby's. They are a far easier, less demanding fish as compared to the Back Rams.

I've kept them for years. A very beautiful fish.

Hi Liz~!

Tom
That's my intention, at least one pair on each zebra tank and the rest on each their own tank. They already spawned again and I have two batches in the specimen box. One batch verified the other waiting to see if they are fertile.

Small spawn starting to free swim.
