Wanting to breed angelfish, rams, and other in 40 breeder

Hello,

I am trying to breed as many different types of fish in an aquarium as possible because I am limited on tanks. I noticed dean had 2 angelfish pairs breeding in what looks like a 29 gallon with a divider. I am wondering if I can set up a divider in a 40 gallon breeder to breed rams and angelfish. I am assuming angelfish will eat ram eggs so that is why I want a divider. My plan is:

german blue ram pair
8 praecox rainbow fish

divider

angelfish pair
Apistogramma Agassizi pair

Thanks in advance

 

With the divider, might get ugly on the rams side, they can get quite protective of their eggs.

Your call, but unfortunately I don’t see that going well for a couple different reasons. Too many fish and too small of a space IMO.

Rams don’t need much space to breed, but I don’t think you’d have much success with the other fish being with them.

 

With the divider, might get ugly on the rams side, they can get quite protective of their eggs.

What if I just get rid of the rainbow fish? Then it would be:

ram pair

divider

angelfish pair
Apisto pair

 

Think it would be better. I just don't like dividers! But i understand why in this case.
