It has been 8 days since I brought them home. They apparently are doing much better and love it here so much that they have laid eggs in one of the corners of the tank. I was shocked to see them there this afternoon because they weren't there when I left this morning. My biggest question is now, What do I do? I haven't added any new fish to the tank, but my Mystery snail is camping out in that corner along with the eggs and one of the fish so do I need to remove it? One of the Rams is guarding the eggs I assume, it was hiding with them, but facing them. So would it take care of the snail if it gets out of line? I am not too worried about the filter intake right now, but when/if they hatch do I need to put something around it so they wont be sucked up? They are in the corner with the heater right now (opposite of the filter). The other ram is on the opposite side of the tank, I am guessing to divert attention from the "nest".
I am sorry about the quality and size of the pics.
One of the fish guarding the eggs. (I use the Deep River Pebble and that is a 3" terra cotta pot. To give you an idea of the size of the fish and eggs.)
This is how close the snail is to the eggs. You can see the fish's mouth above the rock beside the snail. (The snail doesn't have that blemish, its a reflection of the camera and I didnt' notice it until I took the pics, but thats part of the sticker on the pot that I guess I didn't get all of it off.)
