Ok this is most likely not my FINAL choice but would 2 german blue rams and 2 cockatoos work in a 30gal together? If so what bottom/top dwellers should I go with, if any? If not what would be the best cichlids to go with the german blue rams? They I think are my favorite...well I REALLY like the convict but they get a bit bigger and I don't think I could have anything else in the tank with them. Man I don't know I loved so many of them!!

Thanks again,

Gin

In a 30g, i don't think i would get convics unless you just want them. I currently have 7 in a 55 and they are an handfull, all of the other fish in the tank have died or jumped out. I've never kept rams before, but i hear good things and they have a nice temperment so i your tank should be fine. Bottom dweller for you probably isn't completely necessary, its more if you want one or not. In that respect, you could probably almost get anything, and for the top, maybe go with a larger tetra or danio, maybe even some tiger barbs or something. I dunno, just get the chiclids that you want, then the rest usually comes easy
 
Yeah, I no the convicts would get to big...but man I really like them. I wont get them, because I don't want to have to go through so much (that's my problem now) SO I am goimg to get some small cichlid's...just not sure which yet. They are all so nice to look at!

Ok, I'll keep that in mind if I do go with the Rams....thanks
 
Just curious, but I remember responding to a another post of yours asking about gouramis. Are the rams and/or cockatoos going in with the gouramis? I have two dwarf gouramis and 2 blue rams in the same tank that do great. My rams came from germany, I tried some rams from asia a couple of times and they didn't last 2 days. And everyone I talk to has the same prob. with asian rams.
 
No, the gourami's are most likely going into the 55gal, once set up. But them I have seen a couple people say the would do O.K. together and I was thinking about it...just figured I'd wait and see how it all worked out.

Well I might end up putting them together, they would look nice together I bet.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am ALWAYS open for suggestions!
