Will German Blue Rams eat plants?

kamili · 11-13-2005, 12:37 PM

Hi,

I am about to set up a nice tank with plants and I am debating what kind of fish I should introduce into the environment. I will be having over 3wpg so the plants should thrive. Will the rams eat or destroy the plants?

I don't think so cause I only see rams in planted tanks. Also just wondering what size is the tank and what kinda lighting. Tetras would go with rams and do good with plants

Rams are carnivores.

110watts in a 29 gallon tank. I might also be setting up another tank that I have sitting in the basement with a 55watt lighting in a 15 gallon.
