    Ok...so clearly my Rams are idiots. They have eaten the fry again! I give up with them.

    On a side note, my Angels in this tank have laid eggs.

    Grate I'm glad I'm not the only one that has to resort to the cellphone camera.

    Good luck on this batch, hope they don't vanish on you again. ;)

    @FishLover - Thanks. They truly are a beautiful bunch.

    The fry have become wrigglers and the parents have placed them on top of the internal filter you can see in the pics above. I will leave this pair to do their thing and see what kind of parents they are.

    The parents have moved the fry every day from the driftwood they were initially on to the top of the filter to the driftwood....

    Fry are about to become free swimming.

    I have removed the GBR pair from this tank and put them in a 60cm.

    Thanks @nicolaas. I tried quickly this morning with my phone but can't see anything in the pics! If the parents don't eat them I will take pics tonight.

    I have been feeding them well in case that is the problem but I think they just get spooked or something. They are very caring and defend them when they need to but then suddenly...gone!

    Oh yes...this is currently the mess the tank is in. I will not be fiddling in the tank for awhile so it will have to stay as is...

    Nope. Just full range of Seachem ferts. I might add DIY co2. I will keep an eye on the plants.
