Water is very soft. Have guppies atm but it's too much hassle buffering it so much every week. so I was wanting to give them back and get softer water fish. Ie rams, tetras etcHow hard is your water? You should be able to find out from your water suppier's website.
If it is soft, a shoal of small tetras. if it is hard, guppies or endlers. Males only so you don't have lots of fry over populating the tank.
I have a 180 litre tank I could move the rams into if they got too big? Any idea what rate they grow on average?How hard is your water? You should be able to find out from your water suppier's website.

60x30x30What are the dimensions of the 55 litre tank? I used to have one with a footprint of 60 x 30 cm but most 55 litre tanks tend to be narrower and taller than my old one.
It is never a good idea to put fish into a tank knowing they'll get too big, even if you already have a bigger tank. And with rams, it is not the size of the fish but the fact they need more space on the bottom of the tank, unless your 55 litre is very shallow and wide.
Awesome. Thanks I'll have a look into something like thatThat's the same size as my old tank. i would not put rams in a tank with that footprint. On the plus side, the 60 cm length does give you more options for mid/upper water fish, and is enough rooms for a shoal of one of the smaller species of cories on the bottom.
I had ember tetras, pygmy cories and cherry shrimps in mine.
