i dont' know what half of those are, but the other half i believe are quite peaceful. i wouldn't see why you could not invite some German Blues into your tank.

i have a Red Tail shark in with mine, but that is too far some some people. In my tank, though, they are usually cool with each other.

Yeah I cant see any problems with adding a few rams into your setup. With that size of tank you could easily have about 4-6 rams and hopefully a few would even pair up.

My Blue Rams get on fine with everything apart from Gouramis. They should be fine with everything you currently have, but you need to remember that Blue Rams are fairly fussy about water conditions.

That was my post! Someone actaully reads them! Well i've never had rams before but studied them for a while with hopes of getting them. So my lfs only had bolivan rams and 1 balloon blue ram. So i think its a german blue that has the ballon morph. Oh and he's vt. I think he's super cool looking. Also i will beware with there temperment. Mine is quite aggresive but never trully hurt any of my other fish. Just chasing. But no niped fins.

That's great...thanks all!
i'm off in the next couple days to get 3 or 4 pairs. I'm really excited to add some colour to my tank...aside from the orange molly's, all the rest are silver.
My hope is they will spawn...my tank is really large - 7 ft. long so they'll have plenty of room to move. And because they only live a couple years if i have spawns i can repopulate.
