How Many Bolivian Rams To Buy? Male To Female Ratio.

[totally tropical]

I have a 300 litre tank with 6 keyhole cichlids, 6 red line torpedo barbs, 3 BN and 5 clown loach.

I would like to add Bolivian Rams with an intention to breed - I know these fish are extremely difficult to sex unless mature, but any idea how many to purchase and what the male to female ratio should be?

Thanks.

To get a pair, you want to buy 6 minimum and let them pair off naturally. Ideally of course, 3m, 3f IMO.

Cheers - by the way, your fish and tank are fantastic
