could i get some german balloon rams?

JJ21 · Dec 14, 2007

I got my sister her very first fish tank for x-mas. Its a 6 gallon eclipse bowfront. I was wondering if I could get some German blue rams for her tank? What are their habitat requirements and what can I put in as their tankmates? Sorry if this is a stupid question as I am not a Cichlid guru.

any input appreciated

rams are not suited to anything under 15 gallons, 20+ gallons is best sorry

simply not enough room

alrighty, thanks for your advice. Anything you could recommend i put in?

hmmm...a planted shrimp tank would be nice

I dont want to sound cruel but honestly a dead shrimp is not as bad as a dead fish so a shrimp tank would be more "forgiving" than stepping into fish right away...

Yeah, I'v kept those before, nice fish, but not in a 6g, what kind of filtration?

you could get a single dwarf gourami

Badis badis are pretty interesting also.

Betta's will do good.

you could also get two male platies. They are tough as nails, and forgiving for the new fish keeper mistakes, and on top of it all, they are very colorful, and have personality.
