[DclownD]

what is gbr compatable... is a shrimp?

i was thinking a pair of bolivian?

in the store they had them in with kribs?

also where do u guys get the bigger stones? could i use some from other parts of the pet store in my tank? i need more hiding places and stuff so my ram gets nicer

GBR's, Bolivians, Kribs, and Apistos can pretty much be kept together in just about any configuration, as long as you have room for them to create their territories. I know people who breed kribs, and have GBR's in the same tank, and no real problems. Just don't do it in a small tank. I believe his tank is a 75G with the GBR's and kribs, and 1 pair of apistos.

I personally keep 3 Bolivian Rams and 7 pairs of GBR's in my 75G with several tetras, plecos, cories, and more.

Why not keep another/more GBRs?

Check your local landscape businesses...usually can find stones much cheaper per pound then at the LFS.

That is another option. GBR's get along very well together. I've had minimal problems with my 7 pairs. And they can sure put on a color show, lol.

an angel would be a good idea if you had room

im lost

what are gbrs?

 

[cinlnk]

GBR= German Blue Rams, Dwarf Cichlids

 

[calikas]

ah ok

are they pretty mellow or way aggressive?ive got zebras and labs.my tanks pretty mellow.want to keep it that way but i want more fish

 

[cinlnk]

Your zebras and labs would be way too aggressive for the little Rams. If you want to add more fish, stick with Mbunas.

I keep my angels with my rams and they get along.

 

[calikas]

thats what i figured

thanks,i like mbunas anyway lol

Good choice. I'd much rather have Mbuna over Rams myself.
