Dwarf Cichlids compatible to Rams

Fishboy93 · 07-26-2005, 12:24 PM

I have a 29 and new to cichlids. I was planning on putting a pair of Bolivian Rams in it. Remember it is a community tank with Khuli loaches and livebearers...

A pair may get a bit aggressive but generaly they are OK. What livebeares do you have?
If you do find the occassional pugnacous individual, there's no harm in taking it back to the shop.

I don't bother with big chain stores for specialized fish like that. If I want good quality rams I just call in at my local cichlid shop.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
