Betta And Ram

[TheDug]

I currently have a Roma90 community tank...

I have
5 zebra danios
3 platys
2 golden gouramis
2 peppered corys
1 bronze cory
1 betta

i would like to get a ram, would they get on ok with my betta?

id honestly say no. even if everyone is fine with each other now, you are pushing your luck with the danios and gouramis. they tend to stress a betta out or flat out fight with them..you may wake up one day and find a shredded fish or worse best to have a back up plan in your stocking in case theings suddenly go awry. it might be a good excuse to get a hospital tank anyway. a small heater and a homemade sponge filter will be fine for this.
how long have you had your current stocking and how big is the tank?
cheers

The tank size is 60 cm W x 35 cm D x 50 cm H and 90 litres volume, according to google.

I have a betta with bolivian rams and they get on fine. But like loraxchick posted, I'd be concerned about gourami and betta sharing a tank.

My PK Shimmer shares with 2 German Blue Rams AND and gold gourami. Shimmer tends to keep to himself up the top of the tank in the floating plants and the others dont worry him. But i wouldnt put a long finned betta in there. GBRs can be quiet aggressive, particularly when in "season".
