German Blue/gold Rams In Larger Cichlid Tank

[Mako Man111]

Can German Blue/Gold rams be kept with larger cichlids such as oscars and convicts? I'm guesing that they are probably too peaceful and small.

convicts, maybe if the tank was big enough so they had places to hide.


oscars, again maybe but only till it grows to about 6".

I don't want to make another thread, but how would a pair of German Blue Rams get along with a Drawf red fire gourami and tiger barbs?

I could see tiger barbs nipping them... if you get a bunch of tiger barbs you'd have a better chance of that not happening..

What size tank are you talking about?

Its a bit small, its 20 gallons. I'm just debating my options, I think I may skip on there rams though. I currently have my betta in a sparse 5 gallon tank and want to move him ot my 20 so rams would be a bad idea. I would move my tiger barbs and dwarf gourami to my brothers 20 gallon tank, and house 6 zebra danios, 2 ottos, and 1 betta in my 20. And maby add some corries later.

Zebra danios would probably nip your betta..

Nah... In the past I've had bettas in with zebra danios and they have been fine. Also, my tank is pretty well planted.
