Could I Have A Keyhole

[Starvinmarvin]

If you look at the fish i have, would it be possible for me to have a keyhole in my tank? would it be aggressive towards the rams or the angelfish? how about the rasboras? i have heard that they are quite peaceful, i would only like to have one maybe two of them if it is possible, i'm just worried whether they would be compatible.

Whenever your putting two species of cichlid together, your taking a chance. I wuldn't recomend it, but maybe they would be fine. Are the blue rams a pair? Cause if they are, then def not as they will run it into a corner to protect their offspring. You might be able to add another pair of rams though with your tank size..... O and I didn't even see the angel.... The angel will harass them all. So I'd watch what you have right now to make sure your angel takes it easy on your rams...

My angel is only 3cm and it is a small angel how big would that grow to? i have a pair of rams and they are 4-5cm. I'm hoping as my angel is very small that it will grow up ok with the rams, things seem fine at the moment.

Yea, they can grow to 10" and will dwarf the rams. The rams might be more agressive if they are breeding, but all otheer times, the angel will harrass them.

My Keyhole ate a Corydoras eye, so I wouldn't mix them together in future, but in general they are meant to be fairly peaceful.

I have 3 keyholes, 2 adult and one juvenile. I also had a pair of rams until recently and I have an angel which I introduced as a baby but is quite large now.
In my experience the keyholes are very gentle and have never caused any bother with other fish. I have cories and tetras and harlequins. Mine are not at all aggressive. I don't think angels or keyholes grow to 10". Adult keyholes are about 4/5" and angels 6".
I really love my keyholes and would definitely recommend them.
