	Over stocked??
ctt33 Enthusiast Posts: 154 Kudos: 148 Votes: 0 Registered: 14-May-2004	I have a 29 gallon tank that I have had running for about 5 months. I went by the LFS and they know have golden rams in stock. I would love to add them to my tank. Do I have room. 2- powder blue dwarf gourami 9- Glow light tetras 5 pepper corys would a pair of golden rams be ok.

If the store won't take one back & you can't find someone to give him to, then it would be helpful to try to create two separate territories for them by having some floating plants at both ends of the tank. Hopefully they'll each choose one and leave the other guys alone.

I've got 2 rams in my tank and they haven't nipped a fin, just lots of bumping and charging if there's any chance of food being around, or a fish that steals food from them.
