I'm so happy!!! 2 of my rams have paired off

I was watching the tank last night and saw two of my rams swimming together and gaurding a side of the tank as their own. I am so happy to see them pairing off and making a little home for their own. I didn't say anything last night because I didn't know if it was a sure thing, but it is.

But right now, there are 6 other rams in there(trying to determine pairs) and they keep fending off this one plant that they seemed to have favoured.

...guess its a choice piece of prime realestate lol...Can you duplicate the same plant set up at another part of the tank for the others?

I could, but I would have to try and find the plants and it would cost over $40 for a few plants. I like the way the tank is set-up and I like having large plants along the side of the tank except the front and then an aerator in one of the corners, a piece of wood in the centre, and 2 clay pot caves along the right side of the tank. I still need some more plants for along the back of the tank.

I don't think that I have seen this tank yet? any links so that I may check it out? It sounds really nice. ;D

 

Here are my rams home, it is a pic that doesn't have the clay pots and the plant in the front left corner. The clay pots go in the back right corner, and right beside the wood. There is also a plant beside the filter intake that is missing, as well as my cardinal tetras.

Very nice set up Tom, I think the dinosaur egg is a cute touch! ;D thanks for the photo!

That's the aerator.

wow that's pretty kewl!

 

I know, the pair claimed the area just on the left side of the tank where the dino egg is and there is a beautiful purple/red and green plant in front of the dino egg.
