    Came home today and got a big present!

    Found a bunch of about 50 yellowish looking eggs on a leaf petal of a nana plant. Have no idea who's the parent thou.

    This is what i have in my tank, 4 oto, 2 stebai cory and 4 electric blue ram. Also one common sucker fish. Should i remove the leaf petal with the eggs and keep it in a seprate breeding box?

    If the eggs were deposited close to one another, then they are from the electric blue rams. If they were deposited all over the place then it's the sterbai.

    If you intend to raise the fry then yes. Some Rams will just eat all their eggs even if they're not stressed out or lack experience. It happens.

    Sadly, all the eggs hatch out but i only manage to find 3 fries and 2 eggs still not opaque yet. Rest of them cannot be found.

    Good news!!!

    The lost eggs, were actually hatched and guarded by the parents in my nana plant! Today, the family was out for a swim and picnic in front of my tank. Counted 30 of them!!!

    So they were the eggs of the rams? Do you have a picture of the male and female ram?
