Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	In a 40 gal. long could I keep rams and rainbows together? The tank will be planted with drift wood. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

Some species grow too large to keep in an appropriate group in a 40g tank, such as Boesmani and Irian Reds. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

Just make sure that they'll be fine when fully grown. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	The rainbows that I have now that will be going into the tank are Boesemani Rainbows. Right now they are in my 55 gal. I hope to also get some smaller ones too. Last edited by Wingsdlc at 21-Jul-2005 14:56 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	They only get to be about 4"'s right? I have 3 of them. Two males about full size and a female that is only about an inch and a half. My 40 gal is the same 4' in length just about 4 inches shorter....

Alex Fish Addict 510 Posts: 721 Registered: 03-Oct-2004	IMO thats fine as long as they have a long tank (like yours) where they can do laps and pick up some speed you should be able to keep them in a 40G ''All the clown fish and yellow tangs in the world cant save you now!''

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	If they get to be around 6 inches then someone should up date the profile for them. It says in there that they get 3.5"'s 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric
