Hello everyone,
I`ve got a question about my Bolivian Rams.
Yesterday i`ve got eggs from them for the first time,but when i got up this morning my male was chasing my female throughout the whole tank.
And ate all the eggs,now my question is:How can i remove the eggs on the right way,and take care of the fry myself??

Thanx

I suspect that the female ate the eggs and the male was chasing her around the tank because he didn't approve!
It can sometimes be difficult to remove the eggs of a substrate spawning species, because thet lay on plants, the gravel, the glass, etc. If you can provide a piece of slate or something like that for them to use as a breeding surface, then you can just lift it out into another tank. If not, it might be easier to remove the parent that is eating the eggs (or both), but artificial hatching is much more problematic than artificial rearing.
