2 German Blue Ram fries survived

[lab]

My pair of German Blue Rams spawned about a month ago. Most of the eggs turned bad as fungus started growing on them. Luckily there are 2 wrigglers who managed to survive till now (touch woods )

The 2 fries are now one month old.. Eating well on bbs..

congrats! Thanks for sharing.... they're sooo small that I have trouble finding them in some of your pictures though.

Haha.. Thanks and they indeed looked like dirt when they were wriggling at the base of the tank. Luckily I did not siphon them out while cleaning the tank. Feeding bbs really makes them grow at an exponential rate. I hope they can grow as beautiful as their mum

Any bro out there can advise when I can start feeding these 2 fries mini flakes? Thanks..

The black line on the dorsal fin is pretty obvious now. Started feeding them on flakes and live bbs.

lab, your female is stunning. It is likely that she carries the gene for the Electric Blue strain.

Thanks.. That's what I suspect too.. I hv never come across a gbr female that has really shiny blue sparkles on its body.
