Bolivian Rams With Kribs ?

[Littlemonkey]

Good old mum bought over the old family tank last weekend. It's 24"L x 12"W x 15"H The calculator says 71 litres. I moved over the filter (will be getting a larger one soon) heater and gravel plants and wood. At the moment I have the 30 odd jap juvies in there and I moved the pair of Bolivian Rams from the 4ft to this tank. The Eliotti were lip-locking with the female so I thought to move the rams was a good idea? The rams have only been in the tank a couple of days but are still a little stressed by the move. Did I do the right thing by moving them in the first place? If and when they do settle in I was thinking of moving the pair of kribs in with them. So question A is the tank big enough. B will the rams and kribs (a pair) be OK together. Or should I rethink the whole thing through, maybe only having the pair of kribs in there and putting the rams back in the 4ft. Help please my brain hurts

moving the rams was a good idea. if an ellioti chooses to fight with a ram, the ram will lose horribly. the tank is on the small side for 2 rams but its still quite acceptable to house them, especially given the alternative. but i disagree with adding kribensis in with them.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll just leave the rams in there then. I'm hoping they will settle in soon. They don't look happy. I'm going to try and get some pictures up of the tank soon. I'm also planning to put more plants in for them.
