Bolivian Rams?

[KathyM]

Hi

I was wondering if I could add a couple of bolivian rams to my setup? If not, it's no big deal, but I want to check before going ahead.

I have a 4 x 15 x 18 with 4 baby koi angels, 4 cories, 5 penguin tetras, 5 zebra danios, 3 rescue neons *lol* and a baby gibbiceps.

Do you think I would be overstocking by adding a ram or two? Are they compatable with what's already in?

Thanks

Kathy

i think it would be pushin it but it could be done if you change your water ragular.

if i was you i would just bulk up on your exsiting fish

like add 3+ neons and mabye some more corys

I have a 4 x 15 x 18 with 4 baby koi angels, 4 cories, 5 penguin tetras, 5 zebra danios, 3 rescue neons *lol* and a baby gibbiceps.

what was the size ? inches or cm and is it meant to say 48 not 4?

if its 48 inches i say it would be fine.

Sorry yes, should've added the ' and " *lol*. It's 48 x 15 x 18 (ins).

yeah it'll they'll be ok then. you could add more neons aswel that would make them happier and what are you going to do with your gibbiceps when it gets big?

He's got a fair while yet, he's only about 4". By then I should have the new house (and a new tank to go with it *lol*).

Thanks for the advice
