a single female, but not a pair or male

depends if you can fit it in in inches, whats the ammount of inches you have for all thouse fish stated-

ps. rams are incredibly hard fish to keep, only a temperature flucuation can affect them- i would stay away.

if you have thouse fish, i think a nice shoaling group of about 6-8 neons or harlequin rasboras would look great

good luck

 

[tom_os]

ok thanks, what type?

are they easy to get hold of. my lfs is maidenhead aquatics

 

[Truck]

yeah but maiden head sell german blues for £7.50 each!!! and bolivian for £3 a pair is too much for 60 litres so a single female will be okay. but german blues or gold german blues are the nicest

 

[tom_os]

ok thanks. i already have schooling fish, hence why i want something a bit different

so i could get a female of german blue. thanks

i have 8 inches of fih left

how long has the tank been running? and is it planted? and what frozen foods do you have?

 

[tom_os]

well planted, been running 4 months but it will be another 3/4 months before i get the ram. i have frozen bloodworm and reguarly buy live food( once a week)

 

[Truck]

ditch the live food, and buy the following:

gamma frozen blister packs:
blood worm
daphnia
brineshrimp
krill
mysis

you know how you had a freak fish die out? and the cories survived? well live food sometimes contains disease and cories find it hard to get thus giving you a good explanation

 

[AdAndrews]

SO WHY DID YOU SAY IT ONLY HAD CORYS, PLEC AND HONEY GOURAMI IN THEN:

i will have cories, pitbul pleco, honey gouramis
, there is no point in lying about the fish you have in the tank, how can people help you if you dont say that??

i doubt you can fit anything in then. if you have shoalings as well as the list, it will be tight to get a ram in, and even when you do he/she will die within 2 months- guarenteed

good luck

 

[tom_os]

ok, well the last feeding of live food before that was about 2 weeks before. i havnt fed live food since

what are you talking about

edit: sorry read the question wrong. i thought you meant how many inches do you have left. i HAVE 5 cories 1 pitbull plec. i WANT to have 1 more cory, 1 more pitbull plec and 2 honey gouramis

i believe this will leave me with a about 7/8 inches left

 

[AdAndrews]

yes, but you said ;

ok thanks. i already have schooling fish, hence why i want something a bit different

SO THE 7/8 INCHES WILL BE TAKEN UP BY THESE- IE. NO ROOM FOR RAMS

i personally wouldnt mix rams with gouramis...
