How many Bolivian rams in a 20 long?

Bolivians are the reason I had to get so many tanks, to separate them. That's my story, hehe. Seriously, if two can't see each other in the 20 L, it may work out for awhile, but generally they detest and annoy each other. Other community fish aren't even on their radar.

You'll probably see this constantly :evil_lol:-

^ I have a similar situation.

My Bolivians have more room in a 38, but they always seem to find each other and start jaw-locking and fighting. No harm done but it gets stressful looking.
 
I had a 2" ebjd with mine temporarily and the bolivian would pick fights with it lol. I have 3 atm and they seem to be fine together for now....I haven't added any other fish yet.

Ugh, no offense but that's totally normal cichlid behavior. I see that in all my tanks with all my cichlids, it comes with the territory.
 
No offense taken! You asked how many will work in a 20L. Yep, totally normal cichlid behavior is for same-species males to fight and bully each other until the weaker ones get sick from the stress.
