Angels or Blue Rams ??

[rdd1952]

I cast my original vote for the rams because you said that you were planning on getting neons and they generally don't mix with angels very well. With the neons not a factor, I would definitely choose the angels. I have 4 in my 75 gallon and they are truely beautiful fish and you can always see them. I haven't had blue rams before (although I still may put some in that same tank) but I understand that they stay hidden quite a bit so you maybe won't see them as often.

well that would be a deciding factor.. if they hide alot then they are not what i want.. rrrrrr

Please do more research and don't take my word for that. As I said, I haven't had them before. I do love my angels though.

oh yes i know, i was just seeing if other members thought blue rams would be more hidden or would swim around with my other fish

i have decided upon the rams, but i am having some algae problems, my tank is completely hazy with green. i just cycled my tank two weeks ago and its never been clear. would you suggest changing the filters, sinse they are covered in green algae or rinse them off, or what ? i am going to get my rams tonite, but its an hour away, should i wait off and try to get it clear or go for it? i am also getting two rubber lip pleco to try to cure the problem at the same place.
