	How many german rams?
ImRandy85 Enthusiast Bleeding Blue Posts: 254 Kudos: 137 Votes: 75 Registered: 19-Dec-2006	I've got a 38 gallon tank (3 feet long). I'm getting some german rams tomorrow but I can't make up my mind on how many I should get. Here's the current stocking: 3 platies 6 black neons 4 Corydoras arcuatus with my final plans being 4 platies 9 black neons 6 C. arcuatus the rams 1 keyhole cichlid 1 BN pleco I was thinking 3-4 rams, would either number be better? The ones that got ordered are "medium" so I might be able to sex them. Or would you say a different number would be better?

If you do 3, say one male and 2 female, the male will choose the lady he wants and they will harass the other so bad you will prolly need to take her out. If you can get 2 males and 2 females, the couples should get along reasonably well. I have 2 couples in my 55, and I only see the males challenge each other once in a while.....it's SO cute. ~~Melissa~~ "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."

I wouldnt go higher than that though, blues arent as tolerant of other males as the bolivians are.
