ButterFly Ram

[bulldog]

Hi,

Recently, my Butterfly Ram bre inside my planted tank for at least 4 times, always the eggs or the wrigglers get eaten by the parents. The temperature in the tank was about 26 degrees average.

I have shifted the pair to a bare tank but the temperature there is 28 degrees average, due to my discus in another section of the tank. Anyone can advice whether or not they are able to adapt to this temperature? Will they be able to breed again?

Thanks.

They will breed again. Inexperience and fear led to them eating their own to regain the proteins. Give them time. Else put a mesh over the nest to ensure the fries become free swimming.

Understood...i will just have to be patient and see what happens...

Thanks
