German Blue Ram/gold Ram

Tank Time
  • #1
I've got a German blue ram that paired off with a German Gold Ram. They had their first round of eggs, but their parenting skills didn't hold up well. Thus the eggs were eaten by my 3 yoyo loaches. My question is how often will my female gold ram lay eggs? Is it every few weeks, once a month, or every few months. I'm not really looking to be a breeder, but more curious as to how often my female gold ram will drop new eggs. If you are curious my male blue ram paired off with the female gold ram in just a matter of minutes after introduction to my tank, and they have been inseparable ever since.

ImperialJoe and OnTheFly both breed rams and can probably offer advice on this.

Young ram parents are notorious for eating eggs and young fry. Keeping their stress down is all you can do unless you want to pull eggs or fry and raise them yourself. That method requires some time and your presence though out the day.

Could be as early as a few weeks if the fish prefer the tank conditions. Mine have been very inconsistent.

Thank you. I've quite literally searched all over for any indication of breeding frequency, and have came up empty everywhere. There are 100s of articles about how to breed them, but nothing about how often they will breed.

Get a reliable breeding pair in the right water and they will pop kids out every month.

About every two weeks some times even every week in my experience

When I had a good pair they would lay every 14 days, but unfourntionatly they enjoyed eating them as much as laying them.
