Ram Cichlid's?

Spend the money on making your current fish happier then instead of getting the Rams would be my suggestion.

I agree, the best piece of advice in this thread.

+1 for current fish made happy over new fish.

It's not only the neons who are schooling, it is also the loaches and the rainbows.

We did...

A 30 Gallon would be fine for Rams, what else is in the tank? M.ramirezi require high temperatures (28-32oC) so think carefully before adding them, M.altispinosus should be fine in most setups.

M.altispinosus would be much better, they're generally more hardy and more tolerable of higher mineral content, M.ramirezi does best in soft acidic conditions, also sand is essential, these fish are earth eaters.

In that case I'd only add M.ramirezi if you can get wild caught or from someone who has bred from a wild caught pair, after generations of inbreeding the majority of tank bred specimens are of a poor quality, which is why keeping them at the higher temperatures that they're found it in the wild is advised, lower temperatures will slow their metabolism, leaving them prone to Bacterial, Fungal and Viral infections, notably hole in the head.

I don't think anyone said that, and I can't read everyone else's mind, but I most definitely do not think such things about most people (you included).
