	Lonely Bol Ram
lifeofcrimeguy Enthusiast Posts: 230 Kudos: 265 Registered: 12-Jan-2004	Would you think that a Bol Ram to be lonely by himself? He would have tetra for company but no other cichlids. And ofcourse he would have his own cave.

At the moment i also have 1 Ram with lots of Tetra's, 2 small Angels & lots of Corydoras & he looks fine, with beautiful colours. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

I'll note that if kept in pairs, Bolivian rams can be quite easy to get breeding and are very prolific. They will also interact with each other a lot; this makes it not only fun to watch the pair's behavior, but "educational" in that you can gain easy breeding experience. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

They color up far beyond what a single ram will do, and show off in ways that make them the equal to cichlids 10 times their size. They are a very dynamic social fish, and do best in groups in my opinion, however, can be kept singly or in pairs very well, you will just never see them at their very best is all.
