Rams and Dwarf Neon Rainbows together?

[Brian Bivens]

Can you keep a pair of rams with a school of dwarf neon rainbows in a 29 gallon tank?

 

[davexstumpe]

sure can

I don't see any problem.

 

[Brian Bivens]

what about a 20 long?

 

[jpappy789]

20 gallons might be pushing it in terms of space for the rainbows. They are VERY active and would probably appreciate more space.

 

[Brian Bivens]

I'm only asking because it is the same footprint, and only four inches shorter than a 29..

 

[jpappy789]

Oh yea, duh! My bad...It could work.

 

[davexstumpe]

Yeah a 20 long could work. dwarf rainbows only get to about 2" max i believe.

 

[jpappy789]

Closer to 3". They are deeper bodied than most similar length fish though. And hyper...

I wouldn't put the Praecox Rainbows in anything less than a 3ft tank. They are very active fish.
