Would this work?

For stocking a 55g

Angelfish, Festivums, and Blue Rams? ???

Yes

 

[Brut]

Nice, after I recyle I'm gotta start a tank with them. how many you think I can get?

rams get like 3 inches
angels 6?
festivum 6?

 

[atmmachine816]

err, not sure on festivums, rams I think 2:1 ration not sure on it and angels I would stick with a mated pair and then get some tetras or a pleco or some sor of catfish or schooling fish. Maybe butterfly can tell you about the rams or you can google it.

sorry to butt in on this post but I was wondering if this would work...

2 Blue Rams, would they be compatible with gouramis? Maybe add some tetras like red/black phantoms, bleeding heart, black neon or diamond??

For the bottom, I'd want like a lobster or something with a shell so it can protect itself... (still researching).
tell me what you guys think, What my main concern is that I'm just limited on size.


I knew I should have bought the 55 gal. tank.

I know that a lobster could possibly think the little tetras are food and possibly eat them. You don't want that.

hmm... what would you recommend...(with options) for the entire set up with the rams? Should I get a cat fish or not get tetras?

 

[Tom]

Is this all for your 29 gal tank?
Tom

 

[Somethingfishy]

well not totally, I didn't know what all was compatible... just on the tetras and the guaramis with the rams and the algae eater... either lobster or something....

 

[Tom]

Should I get a cat fish or not get tetras?

I have had no experience with rams so I'm not the person to ask about that. Sorry. And the reason I said no lobster is because most tetras are all over the tank and could be easy food for the lobster.

wow just a little hijacking a thread, anyways rams are bottom fish and lobsters get large unless you mean a crawfish?

 

[Brut]

hijacking is stupid lol any way I'm still in the process of washing everything. but I am sticking with the rams and maybe some blushing angels. and some colorful schooling fish

 

[atmmachine816]

That would work great, pair of angels, rams, and you could have a couple different schools of fish, talk to butterfly on rams though.

[Brut]

What if I added a school of tiger barbs? Do they get really big? in the sdtore there like 2 inches

 

[atmmachine816]

2.5" usually, there round fish, but there NIPPY fish, commonly called bas#$rds because you need a fish that can stand up against them.
