Title: OMG I've got eggs!


cturner - April 19, 2008 10:28 PM (GMT)
yikes I'm in the middle of the JPC treatment on the QT tank with rams and rummy noses and what do I find this morning??? I've got EGGS!!!! And 2 rams guarding them! I'd take a picture but they are on the 1 decoration in there and you know my camera stinks at taking close-ups. I didn't think it would ever happen especially them being only about an inch long, I'll keep you all updated to see if I get any wigglers! whoot whoot

On a sad note, I woke up to another blue ram dead again this morning so I've got 4 blue rams left and 1 gold. worry wart!

It looks like some of them are starting to turn white. Keep your fingers crossed!

Well, they didn't waste any time did they? :blink:

Are they watching over the eggs and picking the white ones out?

Congratulations, cturner!

Don't be surprised if it takes them a few tries to get it right, as young as they are!

And if you need any help along the way, there is a lady at CF called "Katie Rose" who is the queen of rams!

Yeah they were picking the white ones out. By the time I went to bed at about 3 am most of them were gone. I don't doubt that it will take a couple more tries. I was just extremely surprised to even to see them laying any this early!

Hey, you know you're doing things right if you get eggs!

cturner - April 20, 2008 09:53 PM (GMT)

Well almost babies.. They will get it down soon enough. Did you get any to keep?
Are the eggs not fertile ?

cturner - May 9, 2008 03:06 PM (GMT)
Oh yeah sorry guys. The eggs all turned white and they ate them all. The one pair they looked fertilized (the eggs were tan) but I don't think they were tending to them close enough. The second pair didn't look like they were fertilized because they stayed white.
