Gold rams peaceful

I am interested in buying two gold rams for my 65 litre tank. Is it ok to put them in with honey gouramis and guppies? I have heard mixed opinions with some people saying they are peaceful, but some saying they are nippy.

Gold Rams are just a color variation of German Blue Rams. They can be a little boisterous with some fish, but for the most part should be fine. They tend to stay in the middle to bottom region of the tank so your fish should be fine. I keep my Rams with Angels, Cories, Pearl Gourami, Zebra Danios, Otos, Clown Pleco, and Peacock Gudgeons.

Hi, what size is your tank? Mine is only 65 litres.

I have Rams in 4 tanks at the moment (50g, 46g, 12g one male, 10g breeder). I have a breeding pair that normally resides in a 46 gallon (175 liters), however thay are currently with fry in a 10 g breeding tank. The best bet is usually 75 liters per pair. You could probably manage one Ram (perhaps a pair) in your tank, but not with the way your tank is currently stocked. They are really cool little fish.
