I'm not 100% sure on this but I don't think it's a good idea to mix ram species. I know they're one of the more docile cichlids but 4 rams in the same tank sounds quite shaky to me.

I think you'd be fine with 2 pairs of Rams in a 75 gallon.

I have a similar size tank and it's huge, they've got plenty of space to stay away from each other and have their own territories

not sure on the blue acara with tetras and platys etc - although fairly placid they are still cichlids!! Maybe check in the SA section.

You've already asked this question before?

and like i said last time the Blue Acara will eventually eat the cardinals and possibly the harlequinns
Also you haven't got a big enough tank to keep 2 Blue Acaras, if they pair up most of your other fish will be killed, if they don't one is bound to bully the other.

Aye, one blue acara, not two, you might get away with it with the cardinals, rasboras but be prepared to see the numbers dwindle as the acara gets to maturity.

Two pairs of rams is fine, make sure you have lots of planting (fake or real), plenty of caves and be prepared to remove any if a problem occurs.

yes i hav asked this before but didnt get the answers i was looking for
thanks for the comments guys
only 1 acara
instead of the second acara wat about a rtbs or 2 discus

So you would prefer for someone to tell you your stocking is great and then find your fish aren't compatible 2-3months down the line ???

instead of the second acara wat about a rtbs or 2 discus

rtb shark would be ok, def not Discus

 

[minxfishy]

Hmmm personally I would say no to the RTBS too as they can be mean when they get older, very territorial, the rams wouldnt appreciate the stress of one and definate no no on the discus.

 

[joshjames]

i wasnt looking for perfect replys i didnt get any replys at all

i was asking questions and no 1 gave me any answers so

anyway ok so no rtbs or discus

completely agree on the blue acra i have a 100g tank and only have 1 in there and it will deffo eat your tetras and probably anything else small enough to fit in its mouth. great fish tho and quite peaceful for a cichlid if kept with the right species i absolutely love mine
