Bolivian Rams in 20 Gallon

Has anyone kept these with marbled hatchetfish? I just read up on these and they have the same pH and tank requirements, how would 2 bolivian(or maybe gold rams due to there smaller size), 5 marbled hatchetfish, and 4 neon tetra's work? I'm thinking sort of an Amazon biotope:)
 
i keep my males to gether any my bolivian rams is more colorfull than yours

You seem to be confused. If you are saying that the tank you have with 2 Bolivian rams in it has colorful fish, fine. We are in violent agreement. I said a male kept ALONE probably won't color up as much.

Bolivians don't need as soft a water as you all think. Mine live, spawn and raise fry in about 7.4-7.6 pH. They are not from the same ecosystem as their cousins the Blue rams and don't need the same water.

Gold rams and Hatchets are a great combination. The neons might like a bit more company...

no need to fight i just simply said that i have one male bolivian ram with one gold ram, and it told him to do that, and my bolivan ram is more colorfull than yours, and i have a honey gourami to put him in his place, and they dont evan fight (that is the rams dont fight) and like i said my bolivian ram is WAY more colorfull than yours.
 
fishfiles,
I think you need to re-read Cathy's post. I don't think there were any course words conveyed by Cathy. who btw, is very knowledgable in regards to keeping and breeding rams.

simply Bolivian rams will color up more when in the company of other Bolivian rams. you will also discover that the more dominant males will 'display' more at spawning time. especially in the company of a female ram(bolivian)

saying yours is more colorful is a matter of perspective.

I keep three Bolivians in my 75 with my discus..they patrol the bottom..they are more colorful than my pairs.

I have seen pics of cathys from previous posts when they have 'colored up' to vibrant(for bolivians) spawning colors.

please don't think these are personal attacks on you or your fish..I am sure they are as you say.
;)
 
i dont mean to Personal attacks, sorry for fighting, and i guess i should say, somethings work from somepeople somethings dont, looks like i got the good side.

i think you should go with some golds
