German Blue Ram Fry – 5 Month Update

German Blue Rams - 5 months old
We still have 17 of the German Blue Ram Fry that hatched in February.
I can’t believe that they are so big, but at the same time I can’t believe that they aren’t bigger.
We’ve moved the fry once – from a 10 gallon tank into a 20 gallon tank.
Both tanks had bare bottoms, and although we’ve tried to hatch eggs in tanks with gravel, none of the fry have survived.
The fry are in RO water now, and we are able to tell a few of the males and females apart.
They are still getting Baby brine shrimp (BBS) almost daily, because we are making it for the smaller ram fry, and we always have a ton left over.
They are also eating several different kinds of flake food, and ultracolor pellet food.
We did have a couple of losses after the first few times we fed them the pellet food, but we’d also been out of town for a day or two before that, so I’m not sure what caused the losses.
It would be nice to keep a few of them and watch them grow up, but right now we don’t have the room.
Jeff has contacted the people who have expressed interest them in before and told them the rams were ready, so …
