Rams are a bit more difficult to care for, at least in my personal experience...maybe its my water i'm not sure. They are a bit more picky when it comes to water quality then other cichlids. But can live in tanks as small as 10gal for a pair up to a large community tank.

Rams are very cool looking fish! One thing you gotta remember is they like water in the 80-82 degree area...Thats why I recomended putting in discus fish too. They both enjoy warmer waters.
