inverts and plants with rams

[Dan the Moose]

k, here is the question, what types of iverts can i put in a tank with rams, if any. and how about cray fish. this is what i am thinking.

snails
blue cray's
gohst shrimp.

are there any other that i am missing.

also, what plants are safe with the rams. i konw swords will work well. but anything else that would work well in a biotope?

I added 5 ghost shrimp to my tank today and one of my rams immediately attacked two of the shrimp. I'm thinking that he did that just because it may have seemed just like food sine I feed them sinking food and they are so small. I am going to watch them for the next few days to see what happens.

I also added five apple snails to the tank, they are doing fine.

I also have anubias in the tank and they love it. I put pothos golden(houseplants) cuttings in my tank and the rams tore it apart in a matter of days.

My ram is in with shrimp and he's never had a go at them, same with the snails. He also doesn't bother my plants either, they're just ornaments to him. I have a small crypt, java fern, amazon sword and anubias.

cool thanks

Ooops, when I said they loved the plants I meant that they stay around them. They don't try to snack on them at all.

oh yeah, the ghost shrimp are usually for food. most fish that can fit them in there mouth, will probably eat them.
