im not planning on gettin a new tank too sonn but i was wondering if these fish would get on ok? i was thinking about 250 liters, 3 foot long.
1 (maybe 2) german blue ram cichlids
1 keyhole cichlid
1 festivum cichlid
1 t-bar cichlid?
1 gold angelfish
a shoal of some sort of tetra(maybe cardinals or buenos aires)
3 corydoras?
BN plec?
 
The fish and the tank would benefit from a more "natural" stocking, by that I mean pairs of fish instead of individuals, schools instead of small groups. In a slightly smaller and planted tank, I have had good success with the following stock:

* pair keyholes
* 1m 2-3f Apisto. cacatuoides
* 25 schooling fish (cardinals would go well, I think)
* 6-8 Corys
* 1m 2f bristlenoses
 
would this work?
2 german blue rams
2 festivums
1 angelfish
10 cardinals
10 harlequin rasboras
4 corys
1 bn plec

or maybe take out the plec and have 6 corys?
 
I'd have at least 6 Corys, it's true what they say that you don't get the best out of them in too small a group.

Not sure about the rest of it but it sounds stunning to me!
 
Corys are schooling fish, you should have at least 6.

That stocking could work, but it would not be something I would have myself. Someone will probably come along shortly to say that rams will only survive at high temperatures, while some of the rest won't like that.
 
2nd Stocking looks good,but always wary about adding cichlids & corys together... :unsure:
