I have a pair of blue rams in a 37g planted tank who have just hatched their first-ever fry. The fry are wiggling around in a rock cavity, just starting to swim a little tonight. I have baby brine shrimp hatching out daily, and I have a spare, cycled 10g tank ready if needed.

Can someone tell me what to expect, or what else I should do?

The parents are very attentive, always hovering by the rock cavity and pecking at the fry.

I really have no idea what to do, as this is my first-ever ram fry.

Thanks for any help.

Congrats on a successful spawn!

Since you've already got BBS cultures going, I'd just start feeding those in a day or two.

Mostly, just leave them alone. Rams generally are good parents. If you see one parent start driving the other away, it may be a good idea to have another place set aside for it, though.
