hey guys, got a quick question for you. I have a 29 that is quickly getting overstocked with rainbows and such and holds our young angel, about 2" long right now. I also have a 10 I just added a pair of rams to but the tank is not really set up for them so they need a new home as soon as I can get to it. I had a 65 laying around that I was soon going to set up as a malawi tank but have caved in to my wife's desire for more and larger rainbows so I started setting it up last night to transfer the 29's occupants into and got an idea I'm not sure about. I made the substrate 2/3 sand and some leftover gravel on the other 1/3 of the floor and am planning to add some plants to the sandy area. right now we have a couple congo tetras and several types of rainbows and it will get the single angel as well. she's young but doesn't bother anyone but I hear they can change when they get older. I want to know if the pair of rams would coexist with the angels in the 65? the angel is rarely near the bottom of the tank and the rams are rarely towards the top so I believe they could coexixt well, expecially if they have plenty of plants to hide in and caves to defend if I can get them to spawn. any tips ? Kyle

Never had a problem with angels together with any dwarf cichlids. Give the rams a place where they can feel safe, and all should be fine.
My angel and ram bicker. One will chase a bit, then the other. Never any damage done and most of the time they are fine.... its only when one comes too close to the other.
And they are in a 20 'high'. So in a 65 you should have no problems.

You might want to watch out with the rams and rainbows though. I had Bolivian rames and Bosemans Rainbows in a 45 and the rams had a hard time competeing for food beacause the rainbows were so fast and aggresive towards food. Just may want to keep that in mind.
