what r some good things i shood put in my tank 4 the rams and the other fish ?

Okay so you want the 2 bolivian rams and the 2 cockatoo rams if you can find them, right? You could also get 2 blue german rams if they don't have the cockatoo rams. None of my LFS have ever had the cockatoos and I think they are really expensive.

That is a german blue ram. Very pretty and would look nice in a planted tank. Just make sure you keep the water sparkling clean as they are kind of fragile fish.

And then you want the khuli loaches.

What other fish do you like? Tetras? Livebearers? Gouramis?

That is fine then. They like to burrow and hide in the substrate so sand or a fine gravel would be preferred. Although I have kept them in large graveled aquariums and they did fine. I just provided lots of hiding spots for them.

any fish i like the plan bolivian rams better sry o heres a bad picture but its kind of like my gravel\sand it is a little bit finer though

 

[dwarf-puffers]

what do the rams like ( tunnels nothing just plants or like pots?) i no the cokatoo fish like pot things like in the picture

 

[Raechal]

Okay then get the Bolivian Rams, they are pretty too. That substrate should be fine for the khuli loaches. What other fish do you like?

My blue rams would like to hide in a log cave I had and they enjoyed the plants as well. I think they'd like anything to hide in, and plants are also good. Maybe some rocks caves or something? Like fake rocks that wouldn't raise the PH.

guppies and the kissing fish but i was told there to agrsive same with a dp even that i only was gona get 1

 

[dwarf-puffers]

what fish do u like ( certain names so i can look them up ) also it would be great if u could tell me if they would go well with the onther fish i would like to get

guppies and the kissing fish but i was told there to agrsive same with a dp even that i only was gona get 1

I suggest the guppies out of the three fish you mentioned. The DPs are not a community fish and should be kept in a species tank. The kissing gouramis would also get too big for your tank and will probably be aggressive towards your other community fish. I think guppies would be your safest choice. If you get guppies, make sure you get males and females. Atleast 2 females for every male. I would say get like 3 males and 6 females. Then get the bolivian rams and the khuli loaches. That would make a nice colorful tank.

But if you get the guppies, they will most likely have fry (babies) and your tank will be full of them in a few months! The rams will probably eat most of them, but if they do have fry, I would just let them grow up in the main tank and let them take their chances in there. That way you won't get overpopulated.

i was woundering about the blood parrots at the fish store they r keeping them in a 30g and it sess on the price tag pARROT FISH (SM) does that meen they r naturally going to be a smaller bunch or just r small 4 now

 

[Raechal]

These are my favorite guppies, they're called lyretail guppies.

Then if you are worried about your guppies having babies, maybe you should get a small catfish, like the bumblebee catfish. My molly gave birth to tons of fry and only 7 survived. My catfish ate the rest.

Or what about smaller gouramis?

<---Opaline Gourami

<---Honey Gourami (You could get two of these)

<---dwarf gourami (You could get two of these)

Like any of them?

 

[dwarf-puffers]

so this is my set up so far

2-belivian rams
2-cockatoo fish *( if i can find them)
2-male guppies
4-female guppies
2-3-kuchli loaches ( if ican find them)
what else did i say

i was wondering about the ottos do they really do anything they dont in my brothers tank

The blood parrots would also get too big for your tank and they would be aggressive I think. They get around 8 inches, around the same size as the kissing gouramis do. The tag at the store probably says (SM) because they are small now, but they will grow and eventually be huge monsters.
