Blue Ram question....

[Kelly]

Hi....it's the newbie here, still trying to decide on how to stock my still cycling 29 gallon when it is finished. :D

I saw some Blue Rams and think they are just beautiful. What would be good tankmates for them? I really want a peaceful type tank, so don't want to have a bunch of cichlids...and I am still learning so might not even know what I am talking about. LOL

I was thinking of doing
Dwarf Neon Blue Gourami's
White Clouds
Cory's

Would any of these choices be okay with a Blue Ram? If not, what would? Ugh, I need more tanks so I can have ALL of the fish that are catching my interest!!! LOL

Thanks for putting up with my pestering questions! :D

Yes, all of those fish will do fine with rams..as would most tetras.

This is what I have learned before I got my blue rams, but didn't realize that they still have _some_ character! In my community tank with absolutely no violence, they absolutely dominate! :D

One of them is clearly dominating more, and seems to have grown much faster, showing extra colors and fins. He chases after just about all fishes that come near his territory, although no fishes have been hurt as a result. I thought they are bottom dwellers but this one seems to have claimed a territory on the top half on the right side of the tank, near where the water falls from the filter... He stays there near stand still most of the time going against a fast current... Weird...

The only species he doesn't chase, are cories and pl*cos, which are bottom dwellers! May be my rams aren't normal...

My 2c... :D
