	rams & keyholes w/ tetras
Beardude Big Fish Posts: 309 Kudos: 26 Votes: 2 Registered: 11-Mar-2001	hey dudes, I was just wondering wether its alright to mix rams & keyholes w/ cardinal tetras? Will they get along or will the cichlids stress the little guys out? Does anyone have any experience with this mix? Thanks

As long as you keep the cardinals in a nice school, they'll have safety in numbers and feel secure. I'd be more worried about making sure that the tank water is clean, especially if you're going to keep German rams. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

The aquarium is a Juewl 180L ~ 48G http://www.theaquariumshop.co.uk/ishop/1029/shopscr51.html Bolivian rams sound like a good idea - saw them at the fish shop too. Hmmmmmm 20 cardinals & a pair of rams.....sound good? Last edited by Beardude at 02-Sep-2005 12:57
