blue rams breeding

[Gnome]

Can I breed rams in community tank w/ 8 cardinals,3 tigerbarbs, 3 odessa barbs, 1 SAE, some amano shrimps
My 15Gallon tank setup: PH 6.0-6.5 (due to CO2), 84F, 5dKH, 6-7dGH, medium planted tank, flourite gravel.
Is there anything that I need such as pot?
Thanks.

A little pot never hurt anyone

I keep breeding German Blues in a 38g w/ tetras and Queen Aranesque plecos... I don't think you will have much success in a 15g with so many other fish... my Rams won't let anyone near the eggs/fry... which results is a school of tetras on one side of the tank and 2 rams on the other... a 10g will work if the rams are alone in the tank... I would remove the female after the fry hatch because the male is very territorial

I agree... probably not in a 15. With all of the other fish, they'd probably never get to the breeding. My Rams like their mating space.
