Keyholes And Rams

[recky]

would a pair of rams and keyholes get along in a 30 gallon?

if they are put in the tank at the same time and have plenty of hiding places (wood, plants, etc) then they should be fine.
If you have the rams and add the keyholes they should also be fine.
If you add the rams after the keyholes have been in the tank for a while they might get bashed. If you re-arrange the tank before introducing the rams then that will help.

having the rams in there first and adding the keyholes later will be fine.

$20 sounds a bit expensive for a blue ram. Which country do you live in?

United states i have been told that the fish store that i went to is over prices from coworkers but i only get rams and plecos from there. I got the prettyist bolivian ram from their one time, i dont remember the price im guessing around 20 though

The females are the ones with the pink on their stomachs right

yep female blue rams get a pink belly and the males don't. Males also get bigger and have longer fins, but that doesn't work with the long finnned variety. The first 3 fin rays on the male's dorsal fin will get longer than the females.
