	Minimum Tank Size For Female Bolivian Ram?
reun Big Fish Posts: 332 Kudos: 216 Registered: 04-Nov-2005	well, lately in my 29 gal tall community tank my bolivian ram has been getting bossed around alot by my male dwarf sunset gourami. whats the minimum tank size i need to have the ram in? so far no nipping but the gourami is getting more and more agressive, and i figure the ram has to be stressed out by the constant badgering. I have a 10 gallon but I am pretty sure that isnt enough for a full grown bolivian ram. thoughts and or comments?

I started mine out ina 15 gallon, a pair, and it worked for me. I hope this helps 72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up 75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)
