It's not necessarily unsafe. Breeding rams during the breeding season will often lose a lot of weight. It's important to do what you can to keep the weight on them during this time. So feeding a fattening ration, which is going to be high in calories, would be a good idea. However, feeding this to a ram that is not too thin or during a time other than breeding season would just be a waste.
Yes, German blue rams are generally peaceful fish but can become aggressive towards other fish, especially during breeding or if they feel threatened.
When you feed ewes and rams feed that is of a higher protein content to try and improve sperm production and increase the ewe's ovulation rate.
When breeding German Blue Rams successfully, key factors to consider include water quality, temperature, diet, tank size, and compatibility between mating pairs. It is important to maintain stable water parameters, provide a varied diet, and ensure the tank is large enough for the breeding pair. Additionally, creating a peaceful environment and observing the behavior of the fish can help increase the chances of successful breeding.
Age is not as important as the quality of the ram. Poor quality rams should be made into wethers, and eaten in the spring. Good quality rams are few and far between, and are valued by their breeder. If you need to ask this question, find a sheep person who allows outaide service of their ram.
A herd of rams.
Intact male sheep are called rams, males that have been castrated are known as whethers.

An intact male sheep is called a ram. Rams are known for their large, curled horns and are typically used for breeding purposes.
Male sheep, or rams, typically reach breeding age around 6 to 8 months old. However, some breeds may mature faster or slower than others. It's important to consider the breed and individual development when determining breeding readiness in male sheep.
Sheep exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males (rams) and females (ewes) showing distinct physical characteristics. Rams typically have thicker, more robust bodies and prominent horns, while ewes are generally smaller and hornless. Both sexes can be identified by their reproductive organs, with rams having external testes and ewes possessing a vulva. Understanding these differences is important in animal husbandry and breeding practices.
The Rams are from Colorado :))
NO- they were the LA rams not long ago.
