Stocking options

[trevo878]

2 blue rams
2 dwarf gourami
6 cories

Would they all do ok in a 15 gallon tank with each other?

Would they be alright with live plants?


Tanks everyone for your help.

They should be fine though the rams could become aggressive if they pair up. They would all be fine with live plants too and the dwarf gouramies would appreciate some floating plants.

Should i add more than two blue rams then?

 

[trevo878]

Anyone?

If you add two more rams then you'll have two pairs of aggressive fish, and nowhere for the others to go Whilte they are aggressive, as long as you aren't stingy on the tank decor it should work fine.

I would not combine rams and corys. Bottom is going to be too full and if rams get to breed it will be hard times for corys.

I think that provided you offer LOTS of hiding places in the form of rockwork, plants or driftwood you should be able to keep the aggression to a minnimum IF they decide to breed. As long as the cories are not constantly in contact with the rams and both have places to retreat to, you shouldn't have serious problems.
