Would These Fish Be Compatible

[artemisblossom]

Could I put these fish together in a 46 gal tank?? If not what would you recommend?? I already have the rams and will be getting the blood parrots any day now. If the rams would not be compatible would they do ok in a 55 gal community tank with platties and guppies and cories or would they eat the half grown fry (fry that is too big to be eaten by the other livebearers)

2 blood parrots
4 ram cichlids
3 three spot gouramis
1 angel fish

The Rams, 3 spots & Angel will def not be a problem, but I've never kept Parrots so not sure about their nature...

Depending on the personality of the parrots, you could try it, although some can be quite aggressive, others are known to be peaceful. I would be tempted to put the rams in the 55g, yes they will eat fry that they can fit in their mouths, but providing they have plenty of plant cover they should be ok.

Edit: Actually not sure if 46g is big enough for two parrot, maybe just the one.

blood parrots are out of the question, they can get up to 8 inches and need at least 50 gallons of water. you could maybe squeeze 2 blood parrots in a 55 but not in a 46. you will be extremely overstocked. I would do 4 rams, 2 gouramis, and 1 angel

all the parrots are aggresive from what ive seen, well in comparison to rams and angels, would not risk it myself
