lost 1

Ok been terribly sick this week, but good now, got back to do some tank maintenance and found I was missing one of the male rams,,,, couldn't see him anywhere...found him in the filter dead as hell...so I added a sponge strainer to intake. now the behavior is noticably different with the others,,, females face off whenever at mid tank and the remaining male spends time with both females ,, sometimes gently poking at them or just hanging close to each one for a bit ,,, then goes to see the other.. don't know if it means anything , but there you have it.

no spawning yet

Ok after more research ,, I bumped the temp to 84 today and started feeding frozen blood worms and will soon start some Brine shrimp, hopefully to spark a little love.

plants are growing but no fishy lovin yet

I am up to 124 watts of light, 93 watts at 10k and 31watts colormax, plants are doing well




fish aren't doing much for spawning though

2 females seem to have separate territories and get a little teste with each other , but the male just hangs out with both,,, maybe the girls" just want to be friends "

so i was adding some more free plants, from gosu this time, and the female with the largest territory didn't likre my hand in her area , she vigorously attacked my hand, biting and only backing away a little as I shooed her away then attacking as soon as I went back to the gardening,,, no eggs to be found but she is very defensive
