Rams In Pairs...

[TheBirdy]

I started with 4 GBRs..ended up having 3 girls and 1 guy. One of my females died. The male has formed a partnership with one of the females, but bullies the other one.

I guess my question is this....

Anyone have experience with having 2 Ram pairs in a 20 gallon tank? And if so...I really like my male I have now...I would hate for a new male to bully him. Could adding another male cause this problem?? Or would this help out my poor little female?

Thanks for any help!!

In my experience each ram needs about a square foot of bottom to claim as its own, otherwise you run into bullying and aggression issues.
IME a 20g is fine for a single pair, but not more.
