Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	That really wouldn't be a good idea firemouths because of the fact that they become aggressive during spawning should only be kept with cichlids of at least the same size. The german rams that only reach about 3 inches and are considered to be one of the most peaceful cichlids would most likely get picked on. So, I have to say no don't do it.

The Firemouth would pick on the Ram. 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
