I want to add more blue rams but iam not sure how many i should add,If i add 4 more will there be problems? How many would you add? Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I know! try that amount, see how it goes, and if all is well, then perhaps you can add your final count that you want. HTH 72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up 75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)

I think they are a lovely fish and cant see any problems with you having 4. The only problem I find with them is that when I'm doing a gravel clean they are very inquisitive and I nearly suck them up in the cannister. My Fish like swimming all day long, They love my bubbles 'pop' on their bum! http://photos.yahoo.com/shedevil_90

They might get too territorial but it depends a bit on the fish your getting. I've had some get along fine with 2 males and 1 female in a 10g until I was ready to move the other male but I've heard of some males that wouldn't share a 55g with each other.
