Rams Information Please

Heya im looking at restocking my 20 gallon tank, im getting new aqaurium plants before i get any rams, but ive been watching them at the LFS and groups of males squabble amongst them selves in the tiny tank theire but only chasing , just curious whether you can keep 2-3 males together in my tank?
Obviously ill have hiding places in the tank, what do you think guys?

i think getting 2 or 3 rams would be absolutely fine, i have 3 rams in my tank, and although the lady said she got a male and a female, i dont know what sex the other one is (or the sex of those two for SURE) and they do squabble, chase eachother and lip lock, but there has been NO HARM done to any of them by eachother its just a bit of harmless fun in my tank i'd definitely advise getting a few, they display beautiful colours and personalities!

You`re much better off keeping 1m and 2f or 3f if you want 3 Rams. Although the ones at your lfs seem to be ''only chasing' they are more than capable of harrassing each other to point of death, especially once they`re settled in their surroundings and sorting out their own territories. Males of species are known to be more aggressive than the females.

Another issue you may also want to consider is the ph of your water. Rams have great difficulties sometimes in a higher ph but can thrive well in lower ph
