Hi hi.. and yep, yet another ram stocking question.
Im close to finishing up the stocking of my tank finally, it's been sitting very understocked for a while but I've just re-aquascaped it and got a few more fish for it (added the penguin tetras a few weeks ago) and now Im thinking some bolivians would be the perfect last addition.
Tank's been up and running for around 2 years when I upgraded from a 28g. Anyway it's 40" x16"x 20", 50ish gallons.
Current inhabitants:
1 pearl gourami
12 penguin tetras
3 otos
5 sterbai cories
2 cherry barbs
5 neons
The cherry barbs are ancient and so are the neons, both leftovers of bigger schools. Im only running the one tank atm so they're just in there on retirement since I don't have anywhere else to put them.
Anyway, I think Im still not fully stocked in the tank and I've been wanting rams for ages but the timing was never quite right but I'm a bit unsure on first of all if they'd be ok in my tank in general and if they are how many I could get btw I'm not interested in breeding or raising fry etc so that's not really a factor, I just like having a fun display tank in my living room to watch. I had thought at one point to get a single angelfish but now with the penguin tetras they are so active in the mid to mid-upper levels that I think I'm pretty covered in terms of attention grabbers above the main plant-line
Here's the tank, I could change up the decor a bit but mostly Im very happy with how it looks now
