I was thinking maybe some dwarf gouramis. Also, are my rams likely to breed in my community tank?

It should help reduce the nippiness as well. Is this a 30 (3' tank) or a 29 (2')? Tanks with more surface area are better when it comes to stocking as it offers more area for the gas exchane. I would also add a small school of the smaller corys too. Even with the BN I think some corys would add quite a bit to the tank, and help with the bottom feeding responisbilities. ^_^[hr width='40%'] Only 13 dives and they're already calling [link=me]http://babelfish.qwertydigital.com/" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] a [/font]
