Hi all,
As above I have a new rio 180 40g tank, i will be planting and having driftwood with plenty of caves and plenty of nooks and crannies for fish to take cover, also possibly some rock but not 100%, going to use eco complete as substrate and 3d rock backing
I really like blue rams and would like 2 pairs if possible, with the rams in place what will mix well and not end up too aggressive.
I would like a school of 10-15 fish etc....your personal prefs and qtys ????
I would like the tank to be quite colourful but also maximise my options.
Can you guys advise best options as to tank mates and qty of each, i would love a couple of mid sized fish if possible in the mix but am aware of the rams requirements, any thoughts or options as to if i can.
I like cockatoo dwarfs, rainbow cichlids, dwarf rainbows etc but not 100% on what will be safe as team mates to the rams.
I had a starting list of
Blue Rams
1 Pair of Pelvicachromis taeniatus (molive)
1 Pair of Apistogramma borelli (opal)
1 Pair of Apistogramma Viejita sp. II
1 Pair of Bristlenose Catfish
3 Pairs of Aphyosemion striatum
2 Pairs of Sparkling Gourami
Various small tetras for dither fish
Various Shrimps (Bamboo, Japonica, ghost and 1 Cameroon Blue)
Sorry loads of questions hopefully you can answer
