Bolivian Rams

[Chri$]

I am thinking of adding 1 male Bolivian Ram to my new 20ukg tank. I currently have a 15ukg and i am moving the fish out of that tank into the new tank. Havn't got room to keep 2 tanks running.
Would he be ok on his own - or do they prefer a companion?? Are bolivian rams generally active tankmates?
Thanks in advance

Hi Chris, I have a 21 UK Gal tank with the fish you can see on my sig with 1 male Bolivian Ram,not at all shy, and yes he is very active always roaming beggin for food at the front of the tank, I believe that he is happy being the only Bolivian, he gets on well with all the other fish espcially my Cory's

Thanks for your reply
Another member sugested a pair. So i'm going to add 1 male and see how he gets on. Hopefully he'll settle in well.

Aye, i'm sure he will settle in well

Just an afterthought - do bolivian rams eat tetras?

 

[Valmyre]

hi Chris,

they get on very well with smaller fish, tetras, harlequins, etc.. tetras will be fine
