I kept mine together for a short period of time but seperated them after it was clear that the blues were making the bolivians lives uncomfortable. The fighting wasnt severe, but it was a much bigger tank than yours. In a 20 a blue might give a bolivian no peace whatsoever, consequently the bolivian might become reclusive and suffer injuries. It might happen , it might not, its not an entirely predictable situation, but I probably wouldnt risk it.

I would be carefull in mixing rams unless you are 100% sure they would be compatable. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
