What fish to have with German Blue rams

[Batmanjay28]

What fish could I possible have with German Blue Rams? I plan on putting them in a 29G tank but don't know what other fish could go with them. Is it better to have a male female combo or 2 males or 2 females? Don;t really know much about Rams in genrel.....want is a great group of fish to go together in a 29G with Rams? Does anyone have any great combos of fish that wouls be great in a 29G with Rams?.......any suggestion would be great...thank you for the help.

Neons or cardinals, most tetras are good. I keep guppies with mine. See sig for my tank.

I've heard that either a pair or 2 females, 1 male is the way to go.

Just about any community fish. German or Blue rams are a peacfull fish and get along with just about anything. See signature.

German Blues will be healthier and show better colors if they are kept in warm soft water - 84-86 degrees preferred. Tetras, pencilfish, endlers, angels. They'll also be more comfortable if you don't pick any spastic fast swimmers like danios.
1 male/2 females is the best combination. Provide lots of hiding places, driftwood cover and if you can find healthy ones, you ought to be very happy with them.

good call.

make sure you check the species proflies on the tetras..some do okay in the warmer water. cardinals and black neons come to mind.

man, I wish I could find pencil fish around here

what about putting in keyholes(probably 2 female 1 male) instead of RAms?
