	Angels and Rams?
Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	I was wondering if 3 angels and 2 Blue rams would be compatible in a 40 gallon? The pH is going to be around 6.4 when im completely done messing around with the tank so they (angels or rams) may breed. I'm asking if they would be compatible if either were to breed? Thanks

The rams might get aggressive during breeding time, but the fish should do fine overall. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Usually introducing three new angels together will have some aggression problems that may take some time to fix. Make sure the blue rams are a good size to defend from the angels. If the angels or the rams decide to breed, you might have some slight aggression. Other than that, its a pretty good stock list. Have you had any thoughts on bottom feeders? I'm thinking corys.

That sounds like a real nice tank you've got going there. A few smaller end plecos sound like a nice addition to that tank as well. Best of luck.

So yea, now, should i go with a pleco or cory's? Also, do blue rams NEED sand or is gravel ok for them? Thanks

Maybe do two male rams, add them at the same time and size- they'll get along fine after a few days, the dominant one usualy harasses (but in my experience doesn't damage) the more passive fish. With angels breeding I have no clue as to how things would go.

Of course, then I'd suggest you get smaller tetras. I've had rams in all kinds of substrate, and they do fine. Substrate is the least of your concerns.

Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	I think hes saying 5 isn't far away from the ideal number of a school. But 4 is a bit too far from the ideal number of a school. i think thats what hes trying to say [span class="edited"][Edited by Tetra Fan 2004-08-17 17:42][/span]
