German Blue Rams

[nikcasper]

i just heard about these cichlids and i was just wondering if i'd be able to get one for my 90 gallon.

is it a aggressive fish towards other fish, very territorial?, how big do they normally get, basicly the whole low down from someone that has them.

my tank is pretty well stocked as it is with 2 oscars, 2 convicts, a jack dempsey, rt shark and a gsp those are the main characters of the tank


and if it turns out i can keep one, would ne1 maybe wanna trade one for a very nice, and very healthy kennyi cichlid "male-full grown"

Absolutely not. A ram would get eaten; maybe in two bites, but likely just swallowed whole. And your tank is actually quite overstocked as it is.

Water parameters are all wrong for rams that require soft water that the other cichlids would do poorly in.

alright thanks, and the tank isn't over stocked yet; its close but not over stocked. but how well would GBRs do in a 12 gallon with the right water perameters

When I say your tank is overstocked, I'm referring to the tank as a mature tank with adult fish. In which case, yes, it's heavily overstocked.

You might be able to get away with a pair of rams in a 12gal as the only fish.

well i really didn't start this thread to argue about whether or not my tank was stocked i started it cause i wanted to learn about gbr, but not one person has said anything intelligent about them for the future, i've had to depend on google. Which is a shame, i also want to add my family is selling our house and after it sells i'm buying a larger tank.

I've already answered your questions. Question #1: can rams live in your current tank. Answered: no. Question #2: can rams live in a 12gal tank. Answered: likely.
