GBR and Bolivian Rams

Are these two compatiable in a 46 g tank? If so how many? Only thing in the tank is small tetras, etc.

I would do a pair of one species, not both.

^+1! Probably safer with grr if tetras are small

I also would only do a pair of either species. I wouldn't wanna risk having hybrids later on if you ended up with a pair.

I agree, pick one species.

Just go for the GBR you could easily have two pairs of them in the tank.

If you do try two pairs have lots of barriers, kind of make different territories for both pairs.

Thanks, I understand. How about GBR and either Apistos or Kribs? I am glad someone knows their stuff. I would be lost.

Not kribs, there Africans. A trio of apistos may work with enough cave/ drift wood. Im not sure though.

I don't have any personal experience with this, but I've heard bad stories about rams and apistos together.
