I have a 72 gallon which includes two male blue rams. I am looking to add a few women for them. How many females shoudl I get? Will two be sufficient or should I get three?
Thanks

If you are sure you have two males, I would get at least 4-6 females and let them pair off - here are a couple of ram breeding sites - http://members.aol.com/WnyZman/rams.html and http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/breeding/bluerambreeding.html - good luck!

Thanks, now I just need to wait for the LFS to get some females. They only have one right now and it wouldn't be fair to throw her to the wolves. She would be running for her life.
