Can Gold Rams Live With Blue Rams

[martin_jones]

I have four blue rams in my 260L Juwel Vision.

Would it be OK to add four gold rams?

If not, could I add any more rams to my tank?

4 blue rams

I believe the Gold and Blue Rams are just different colors of the German ram. Therefore, you should be able to keep them together easily.

What size is that Juwel tank? (gallons plz)

 

[martin_jones]

260L = 69 US gallons (57 UK gallons).

Hard water, with pH of 7.5-8, but I'm adding CO2 which should make it more acid.

You need to know the floor space not how many gallons it is.

I would say 1 pair of rams to 2ft of floor space.

Ah. Sorry.

It's 4 foot long, 22 inches high and 18 inches wide (although bow-fronted, so at the sides, it's a bit less).

In a tank that size I would say two pairs easily ... depending on lay out you could have 3 pairs.

Basically dont put more than 6 Rams in the tank. 3 Females and 3 Males.
