Dutch Ram Group

I've currently got 3 Dutch rams in my community, 1 male and 2 female. The male has paired with one of the females but the gooseberry is being pestered around the tank by the other 2. I've been advised against adding another male, so I was wondering if adding another female would provide a companion for the loner and prevent the shenanigans?

Not positive on which ram is a dutch ram... Personally I would remove the lone female and let the pair have the tank to themselves.

Dutch Ram = German Blue Ram IIRC

That was my guess.

How much space do they need? They are currently in a 100l, 30x18x15 and will soon be moving into a 450l, 48x24x24. Will that be large enough to expand the Ram community?

Yes, you could easily keep 3-4 pairs in a tank that size.
