My Holland Rams' eggs hatched!

[Nick]

Finally, the 2nd try by the parents managed to produce a successful brood. Last month, they ate all the eggs. Now, at least can see the eggs starting to wriggle liao. Think by tomorrow, they should be free-swimming.

Question:
1.Do I remove the parents, now that their job is done?
2.Besides BBS, what would you feed to the fries?

[lsz]

i will leave them with the parents. As you had experienced, they are learning already.

I prefer to use liquid fry food for smaller cichlids with smaller broods.

ANd Congrats!
I very seldom see ppl breed rams successfully. I have not tried it myself too. It is a sweet success

Now the ram fries are free swimming. Fed them with JBL Novo Fluid. Seems like they like it a lot, swimming towards the cloud of liquid. Quite fun to watch. The brood also seems larger than I first thought. Looks like there are 200-300 fries![:0] Anyway, the parents are now having a hard time attending to all of them. Will post pictures tonight once I sort it out. But my digicam is the lousy kind, so dun have too high expectations, ok?

looking forward to see your new joy congrats

Sorry guys.... the pictures does not turn out as well as I expected due to the lack of lighting, and also the reflection on the glass. Of coz, if you dun mind the really really poor quality of the pics, I will gladly put it up here. Cheers![]
