can you fill my 55 with fun fish?

[Lupin]

I've never kept Bolivians, but I don't think it's a good idea (based on what others have experienced) to mix them with GBRs.

I didn't others have a bad experience over the mix. I have never seen any issues with the mix but the tank was 75g furnished with several plants, driftwoods and slates. There was no damage ever done despite their conflicts.

oh and blue rams would be awsome, how many could I have in this tank? and where to find them?

A pair or trio (1 male and 2 females) of blue rams is fine.

I will not buy anything else, until I find these.

Granny where did you find this particular loach? I have never seen that fish before!

Everyone I know who has kept them together hasn't had any issues.

For the middle level, how about Rainbows??

Colorful, peaceful, active, reasonable size.

I've got a tank full and they are beautiful.

these ? Boesemani Rainbow
