Corys And Rams

[Steph01]

I bought 3 corys yesterday and I also saw the german blue ram are these two compatible toghether or will they not get on?

They should be good.
How big is the tank?
Cories and rams will need a 20 gallon + and the cories need a school of 6+

I have a 54l tank but the person in my LFS sed the minimum for corys is 3 (they seem fine)and he sed that rams could live in a 54l tank just give them hiding spaces but you have answered my question of if they will go toghether. Thanks

 

[TallTree01]

Not in a 54 liter they won't. Cories need a school of 6+ and rams need a 20 gallon.a

Steph, 
 
LFS are famous for giving poor advice.  Rams need at LEAST 20 gallons, and cories should be kept in big groups whenever possible.

Ok well I have just 3 julii cory at the moment in with 6 neon tetra, 4 guppies and thinking of getting some endlers they seem fine but I can pick some more up tommorrow

I'm guessing that your cories are actually "trilineatus" rather than julli.  Julli's are almost never available.  Trilineatus are commonly known as "false jullis".  I'd say that getting 3-5 more "julli" cories would be a good move.

Yes they are trilineatus corys but labelled as julii cory and I think I will get another 3 to make it 6
