Si Fighter

[jimmy1985]

I have A 30 gall (uk) tank, I have 4 bolivan rams in it at the mo, but aim to add some peppered cory. Could I also add a si fighter and a couple of Bamboo shrimp?

I have bolivans in my 55 gal comunity tank and have no probs but don't know how they'd be with a bright finned fish like a fighter.

basically could i go with ;

4 Bolivan rams,
3/4 cory.
a si figher (male)
and 2 shrimp?

I'd leave getting the Betta as they may be aggressive with your Rams. Bettas are kept in community tanks but do just as well kept in a tank on their own. They are a solitary fish by nature so don't really need tankmates.
You could try adding one but make sure you have a spare tank as a back up in case it doesn't work out. The one problem with keeping Bettas with other fish is that you have to keep a close eye on them. They may be fine for weeks or even months but there is always a chance that things may go wrong.

pity because they are stunning fish.

oh well, the rams are gorgeous and so placid as well.

what would you recomend to go along with them? thought about a couple of hatchet fish as well tbh, but just kinda toying with ideas before i decide. ideas would be welcome.
