i had decided to get a new pair of rams and try breeding them. i put my somewhat older female in a 65 tall with the new male, 15 juvenile (2-3") satanoperca leucosticta and 13 lemon tetras. the rams are the smallest fish in there. wouldn't you know, they paired and laid. not expecting much i let them go- in my tapwater. wouldn't you know, over 100 fry are about to go free swimming, quite a nice hatch. you just never know with this fish. sometimes they'll never lay, or not guard their babies or the male will kill the female or whatever.
they are absolutely brutal on any fish that comes any where near the nest. there is no cover, just a bare tank with a piece of slate in the corner and sponge filters.
