Bolivian Ram Tank Mates

[coleh11]

Hey guys! I was planning a 75 soon with 4 Bolivian Rams and Corys and was wondering what type of tetra would be best suited for the mid to upper level of the tank. I wanted something thats pretty peaceful and active and would be good in a planted tank. The ones that my LFS has and I'm interested in are:
Head & Tail Light Tetra (Hemigrammus ocellifer), Bloodfin Tetra (Aphyocharax anisitsi), Rosy Tetra (Hyphessobrycon rosaceus), Columbian Tetra (Hyphessobrycon ecuadorensis), Diamond Tetra (Moenkhausia pittieri), and the X-Ray Tetra (Pristella maxillaris).
I would love to hear your experience with these fish if you've had them and if you think they would be well suited for my tank!

I don't know the exact temp requirements of each type of tetra, but I can't imagine any tetra that would be an issue with rams. I have three with a school of brilliant rasbora. Even though they aren't from the same area they seem to be doing fine together. The rasbora stay in the top third of the tank and school nicely.
I have a school of diamond tetras in my 75 and they are another good schooling species that would fill some of the visual space well also.

From what I've read any of those will work. I have one bolivian who ignores the three platies that mostly swim at the top (until they come into his area). He seems to have become friends with the lone swordtail.

I have a school of Harlequin Rasboras with my Rams and they ignore them completely. I personally love diamond tetras and bloodfins but I’m afraid I can’t say with any authority if those are the most compatible with Rams as far as temps, behavior, etc.

How many will you get? If you’re just doing a school of cories and 4 Rams you can have a BIG school of tetras in a 75 which will look awesome

I would probably do like 20ish if that sounds okay, i’ll figure closer to when the time comes because I'm very indecisive, i’ve made like 15 different stocking ideas already and I'm finally starting to narrow down what I'm interested in.
