38 Gallon South American Fish Tank Stocking!

[jsmeester]

so i will be getting a 38 gal tank soon and stocking it hopefuly how i would love to stock it.

so how i would want to stock it is... (with some quesitons)
2 angels... what if they are a breeding pair, will they be agressive wehn they mate?
1 bolivian ram... since im only getting one, with the sex matter?
1 golden ram... since im only getting 1, will the sex matter?
1 german blue ram... since im only gettin gone, will the sex matter?
1 electric blue ram... agina, since im only getting one will the sex matter?
then maybe a school of 6 or 7 rummynose tetras (would there be a better tetra in mind i could add?)
and maybe i could move one of my male albino brislte nose plecos from my other tank to this one?

and if i dont do the pleco, maybe a school of cories? or could i do both?

if i dont get the pleco or cories, is there any other cool fish i could add with these guys?
what about some rainbow fish or some kind fo gourami?

thanks

So many different rams, some of which like different water conditions than others.

I'd get the bolivians only. They like similar water conditions to the angels. I dunno about the rest, but german blues like the water to be much warmer than others, and the pH to be lower. They're also fragile, so bending their preference is a bit of a no-no.

And yes, angels can be aggressive during breeding. They can be a tad aggressive even when they're not breeding.

golden, german blue and electric blue rams are all the same species of fish (mikrogeophagus ramirezi)

they require soft acidic water with a temp of at least 28 dg C

the bolivian ram is a different species (mikrogeophagus altospinosus), which are much hardier and a great beginner fish, and they house well with angels.
