Ramirezi breeding project

so ife been itching to go big on ram breeding for a while and as my fish room is being used to breed other fish i decided to clear one room in the house dedicated just for rams. to supply pet shops with affordable rams as ife been asked by few if i could breed them for them. so im putting up 5x 3 foots and putting 12 rams per 3 foot to get pairs. german blue rams, electric blue rams, want to do about 5 comon types so hence the 5x 3 ft pairing tanks. then another 15x 2 foots for the pairs, breeding 3 pairs of each type and then another 20x 3 foots for growout space. my ro water filter and microworms is already sorted. all the breeding tanks will run off a very slow drip system as to not shock the fish with ph jumps but keep temps stable and amonia / nitrate in check. the only rams i will not breed is the dark night ram because of respect to forum member @Marco thats his pride. it is going to be a chalenge getting everything set up and some costs but im not gonna back down to achieving my goal. ife been chatting to breeders overseas and the info and help i recieved is phenominal. i will start with german blue rams just to get the hang of things.

 

Best of luck!!

Good luck, they are cute little fishes.

 

Sounds great! Good luck

 

thanks guys, much apreciated. it will only be 2 local fish shops as i dont want to flood the market for the rest of the guys. rest is going to pe and durban by air freight. the 2 local lfs's wont take that many maybe 100 each a month.

 

You will sell a lot here if you keep thread up to date and show great tanks and breeds

 

Let me know where the LFS are....I like these fish!! I'll drive there to get a pair!!

Good luck Tankman

I dont know where your from but 2 years ago i had about 500 rams and as i am in PE i flooded the PE market.

So i hope you are in a big city,the market is not as big as i thought it was...

 

Are you still breeding Rams? I have been looking for some for a while now, the EL lfs do not stock any

 

Hi @BBFish

Yes I do but mostly for me and friends.

Our lfs here in Pe do stock rams.

Ultimate aquatics have some nice rams at the moment.
