29 Gallon Tank: German Blue's or Bolivians???

lordingsy · February 8th, 2009

Hi, which do you think will be best to go into my 29gal community tank. There are 6 danio in there at the moment and a bn pleco going in soon.

I have read conflicting reports on the the web regarding the aggresivness of the bolivians.

Every site seems to say a different tihng to another.

Any help will be much appreciated.

the biggest difference IMO is activity and sensitivity. the german blue rams tend to be MUCH more sensitive to water conditions than the bolivians, and somewhat less active as well. based on looks alone, i definitely prefer the GBR (or GGR, german gold ram). i think the bolivians get a little larger too, so that might be something to consider depending on the other fish in the tank

Bolivian will get larger and would stake out more bottom space than Rams. Depending on tankmates but Ram seems better choice for 29G.
