i have two blue rams in my 75 gallon planted tank.i have medium substrate,and two penguin 350 filter running.lots of plants and rock formations for hiding.they are the only fish in my tank as of now.i`m looking for some good tank mates for these guys.if i could keep it all dwarf cichlids that would be great.i`d like some small,peacefull tank mates that will blend in well.i`ve read about keyhole,yellow,cockatoo,and panda cichlids.would they be o.k.? what about kribs.also maybe a small pleco (that stays small) and won`t mess with my plants.any suggeastions would be great.thanks everyone.

I'm just a newbie as well, but i have kribs and a clown pleco, and used to have an Agassizi. The tank is only 38gallons, but the kribs are territorial, and although they didn't harm the Aggie, i think that they stressed him to death by constantly chasing him if he swam into the middle of the tank(they weren't even breeding). You MAY be better off with a bigger tank. My pleco isn't overly agressive, but he will push around anyone that swims too close for his comfort fairly often. Just my $.02.
