Some people will argue that a pair of rams can be kept in a ten. But I vote shellies.  Check out the Lake Tang forums for some set up ideas.-Formerly known as the Ferretfish  |

| terranova Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003 | The shellies will be a little harder to find...rams aren't too uncommon. I don't shop at chains though, so I wouldn't know. >.< They aren't hard to keep as long as you have the proper set up.  -Formerly known as the Ferretfish |

| aviator Hobbyist Posts: 120 Kudos: 55 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Aug-2003 | Ok, thanks. I read the shelldweller section and they seem very cool. I think I'll get them if I can find multis or brevis anywhere, along with shells. |

| aviator Hobbyist Posts: 120 Kudos: 55 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Aug-2003 | Petsmart had neither shell dwellers nor blue rams. The only other small cichlid they had was an Auratus. Would a pair of them be alright in a 10 gal? Otherwise, I'm just going to get neons and cories. |

| aviator Hobbyist Posts: 120 Kudos: 55 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Aug-2003 | Actually, never mind the Auratus. |
