Another compatibility question

[aquafan]

Bolivian or German Rams? I really like these little fish but I don't know if they are compatible with the fish I already have. Right now I have 2 dwarf gouramis, 1 juvenile angel, 6 neon tetras, 3 corys, and 2 african dwarf frogs. I have a 30 gallon tank and would like to add 2 more fish. Which of the 2 (Bolivian or German) do you think would be most compatible? I am concerned about my angel, and of the aggression levels of Rams.

wouldn't add anuything else to that tank. if you really want the rams, get another tank for them.

i agree with semper

Another tank would be ideal if you want to keep rams

I thought angels got really agressive when fully grown.. or am I mistaken? Rams are really not all that agressive except when spawning. (Then they even attack my hand lol) But I do agree not anything else for that tank...

Thanks for the input all. I'll purchase another tank for some rams. What size/shape tank would you recommend? Do German blues and Bolivians get along together?

How many rams are you thinking about? They're pretty peaceful but can get territorial and even aggressive, especially when spawning. The minimum for a pair of rams is a 10g. I've seen a couple of posts around here where people give different minimums for different numbers of rams.

Given the right amount of space, blue rams and bolivians should do just fine in a tank - they're both peaceful community fish!
