How would a Bolivian Ram fare in a 46g tank with 2 Angels (one very dominant) and 2 Blue Rams.

He would do just fine. Just as long as you have plenty of plants ect to break up the line of site.

Yup, there shouldn't be any problems. Both species of rams tend to hang out near the substrate, while angelfish (which tend to be slightly more aggressive than blue rams) favor the middle area more. There will be plenty of bottom area for the lone Bolivian ram to avoid the blues in if necessary, so adding a Bolivian ram should be just fine.



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Thanks for your responses.

I was a little concerned because my larger angel (silver dollar size) really controls the main area of the tank and pushes the other angel (half dollar size) into a hiding spot behind some driftwood. I'm actually thinking of moving up to a 72g.

Rams do well with Angels, but you must have a couple of Plants & some hiding places.

I keep a pair of Bolivians and a pair of angels and they do fine. There's a bit of chasing between the Bolivians (they're both males) and one of the angels gets chased and does some chasing. But it's all very minor and infrequent. It works well. I do have a 75 gallon tank, though, and with lots of hiding places, so there's lots of room for everyone to find some "turf." I'd say go for it.
