Stocking Question

[JArtiles305]

I have a 10 gallon tank, stocked with 3 Cories, and 5 Harlequins. If I add one Bolivian Ram to finish the tank off I should not run into any problem, correct? The Ram being by itself should not get overly aggressive with the Cories I'm guessing.

Am I right?

Anyone?

Anyone know it it will be safe to add either one Bolivian Ram / German Ram?

I also looked at maybe adding a Red Dwarf Gourami or Honey Gourami. If I added the Dwarf it would one be one. The honey though, I'd like a duo/trio, though sexing them seems impossible.

Any suggestions? I prefer the Ram, with the Honeys in second if I could sex them.

Hi,
i think 10 gallon maybe too small to keep a ram .
I think they need to be kept in 2's or 3's i am not sure.

In my opinion a Bolivian ram would certainly be too large for a 10g, whereas if you have exceptional filtration and you're obsessive about your weekly water changes and maintainance a butterfly/german blue ram would be fine

Easier though would be 1 or 2 honey gouramis. They're much hardier than rams They're actually incredibly easy to sex as with all gouramis females have a deeper body and a rounded back end to their dorsal fin, while males are more streamlined with a longer pointed back end to their dorsal fin

Here's a picture of my pair to give you an idea
*the colour has nothing to do with sex tho* B)

p.s: I think you'd be better getting at least 2 more harlequins aswell

I would go with 6-8 Harlequins and 4-6 Dwarf Corydoras

Thats a nice pic there Saedcantas! Beautiful Gouramis! Also, Do I see some C. Trilineatus there!

Oh, I just recognized them because I can't wait to get some myself!

JA-What about this stocking:

3-4 Dwarf Corydoras
6 Harlequin Rasboras
1 Dwarf Gourami

???

Going to give it a try once I get my aquascaping finalized. So for now I'll stick with the 5 Harlequins and 3 Aeneus Cories
