Quick Stocking Ideas Needed

[!Gina]

okay, so as some of you may know i've been planning to change and re-vamp my tropical tank for a while now, i havent visited the forums for a long while, as i was very ill over christmas and the majority of my stock were given away.

Without going into too much detail, i currently have a 96ltr juwel aquarium, with 1 leopard frog plec. (this is all the stock i have at the moment). It is in good condition the water perimeters are fine, substrate is sand, it has large pieces of bogwood and is heavily planted at the moment also.
I would like a new challenge now that im back on my feet again and am re-designing my tank giving me something to focus on, I like the idea of having a pair of german blue rams but i am uncertain what other species would co-exist with them happily?

I like exotic looking/ interesting fish with a passive temperament, obviously due to the size of my tank i am limited to my choices.. but i would appreciate any advice...

Any advice you can offer is much appreciated, as i'd like to re-ignite my passion for fish keeping once again!

What is your PH?... I ask as I fancied some dwarf cichlids/apistos/rams but was told my PH of '8' is far to high...

my PH is around 6.8 it doesnt waiver much, temp is generally around 26 degrees C

I was told this is ideal for rams, as they're very tempermental apparently. I'm not sure what other species of fish would complement this though, any ideas?

Maybe a Puffer? Although I doubt it'll be OK with the frog.

How about adding more of the leopard frog plecos and trying to breed them ?

I've just bought a pair and they're just great looking little fish aren't they ?

Don't go for a puffer, they're cantankerous and can take chunks out of other fish, best in a species tank really.

Rams are supposed to be very peaceful, so provided you go for peaceful community fish of a similar size, that aren't territorial you should be OK.

Thank you, I hadnt thought about trying to breed the leopard frog before, I read somewhere that they were impossible to sex though? is that true?
