i dont see your stock list... but i've been thinkin about gettin some rams myself. from what i've read rams can be a little tough to keep. i hear bolivian rams are much hardier than blue rams. maybe you should go in that direction. good luck

The fact that you already have 1 x Bolivian ram, a couple of German Blues should be fine and you have a decent size tank for any territorial issues that may occur. Wouldn't you just consider trying to find your existing Ram a mate? I'd be more interested in increasing the shoals of your other fish i.e. your rasbora, neons and even corys. Out of curiosity, how do your Angel Fish get on with your Bolivian Ram?

my angel fish doesnt bother the ram because the ram keeps himself to himself and the ange is only a baby one..........

iv got 2 swordtails, 1angelfish, 4neons, 4 keyholes, 1 bolivian ram, 5 cories, 4marble hatchet fish, 1emerald eye raspora...would they stand a temp of 28 +?

I keep and breed gbr's at 28 degrees c your other fish will be fine at that temp i think but the rams dont necessarily need 28 degree's c either so just meet somewhere in the middle say 26.5 to keep all partys happy

You can not have Bolivian Rams and German Blue Rams in the same tank. 1. They will fight, with the Bolivians killing the smaller Germans, 2. Bolivian need the temp to be 24-27c Germans 28-32c. Depending on the size of the tank you may be able to get a Keyhole or a pair of Apisto's.
