I'm afraid you shouldn't get any rams for this tank. There are already stocking issues. The rams also need warmer water than the other fish you have

Happy birthday!

You're thinking of German Blue Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi), which need temperatures of around 80°-86° F. Bolivian rams (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus), which I think is the fish that the OP is referring to, can tolerate temperatures of around 75°-82° F.

Ah. Yes you're correct. Thanks

Wait. I'm confused right now. After reading the title, are you referring to Bolivian rams or another variant of the German blue rams?

Sorry, but I honestly don't know what "Bolivian Blue Ram Cichlids" is. If you provide the scientific name, then it would help. Pictures might help in terms of identification.

I have kept them in 25C (77F) before, and it did absolutely great! I had no issues with it!
