	How many rams?
Hooktor Fish Addict Posts: 646 Kudos: 651 Votes: 67 Registered: 22-Mar-2004	A lot of people mentioned that blue rams are very picky about their water conditions and do not live a very long time. Since I am not experienced at all with cichlids and i wanted to just get involved is there a better kind that would fit in with my 20 gallon planted and a trio of swords?

They are very delicate fish. A breeding pair of either would be great in that tank. If you have good water quality Bolivian Rams will be pretty colorful Here is a picture of mine...

JQW Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003	blue rams are great, but they are delicate fish, sensitive to NO3. it's adviced that you have lots of plants and hiding places in your 20G other than that, blue rams are great fish
