I have enough stock to start a breeding program. Problem is, my wife's favorite fish is in the tank (blood parrot) and I cannot get rid of him, and I can't just toss him in with my Discus. Although.... I do run some RO water in that tank and I have this little terracotta pot that I'm not doing anything with. What would I do when the fry were born to protect them?

FYI-They breeder is not selling females. All EBR are male. You'll have to breed them back to Germans.

Ok, now I 'm curious. How big are they and what fish can you house them with?

Just look up Papiliochromis ramirezi for the info. Their size/temperament will not differ from the standard ram. They are peaceful community fish that get 2" or so.
