	Rams with rams.
Untitled No. 4 Big Fish Posts: 488 Kudos: 452 Votes: 33 Registered: 07-Nov-2004	Hello again, Do you think it's alright to keep blue rams with bolivian rams, or should it be avoided? Thanks.

They will act the same towards each other as they would for their own kind. As stated above, males might squabble now and then, but it really isn't anything to be worried about. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

However, instead I'm getting a pair of Apistogramma Elizabethae, which are a bit more expensive, but look quite nice from the pictures I was able to find. Think I will have to get a new tank soon as I found two suppliers of apistogramma, one a home breeder who has some interesting fish, and the other a shop and they have some fish that i've never seen elsewhere, but I'm taking it slowly for the time being. Thanks again for helping.
