What is the minumum sized tank that I can put a pair of German Rams in? I have a 6 gallon that is empty and there are too many fish in my 37 gallon, so I was thinking that they would make a nice set up for my 6. Thoughts?

i would say a 10 is good for 2 rams. so 1 should be ok, but that takes up alot of tank space.

The six gallon would be a great set-up for a pair of rams. It would be a great species tank.

i have to agree with 10g tank as minimum for a pair of rams...but ive seen other poeple put them in a 6 or 5g tank...if ever u have no space for another tank and decided to put them in that tank (6G)..just provide caves and lots of plants to make them at ease.
