Hydra's Babe Fingerling Posts: 32 Kudos: 23 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Oct-2004	I would definitely have to say Bolivian Rams. I am in love with the one I have. Probably more so if I got another one to pair it.

It was actually quite pretty, especially since they both formed their own schools. I think that should be your choice unless you're going to miss having a larger fish. ><>

Rummies + lemons = a strange, bizarre mixture of red and yellow which isn't all that visually appealing, IMO.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	No they aren't, because two of those votes have been disqualified. Right now, the totals stand at: Keyholes, 2. Bolivian rams, 2. Rummynose tetras, 1. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	I have a 29 gallon South American tank, with a betta (who will be moved soon), six polystictus cories, and six lemon tetras. I don't have an eye-catching fish in there, and I still have plenty of room. I was thinking about adding the following: A pair of Bolivian rams, or a pair of keyhole cichlids, or a school of six rummynose tetras. I wouldn't mind having a breeding pair of cichlids, but then again, the rummynose tetras certainly are nice-looking. Any opinions? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	I'd go with either of the cichlids if you could get them. My first choice would be keyholes...interesting looking, curious, peaceful, active ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

never say die Hobbyist Posts: 85 Kudos: 58 Votes: 1 Registered: 18-Jul-2004	ive had them and keep them now i like them alot id have to say go with the rams.

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	I vote for the keyholes, since you need a centerpiece fish. The rams would probably stay close to the bottom, so they wouldn't be the best for that. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

synodontis Fish Master Posts: 1403 Kudos: 2000 Votes: 1099 Registered: 02-Oct-2003	hmm well i like all 3 of those fish but i'd go with keyholes coz they look really nice IMO and mine aren't shy at all like other ppl say they are and they are always at the front of the tank watching me cfd Last edited by catfish_dude at 10-Oct-2004 00:14 -------------------------- Billy was a scientist, Billy is no more.

tomsouthall Enthusiast Posts: 286 Kudos: 470 Votes: 13 Registered: 18-Jan-2004	i'd go for the bolivian rams, they look great and are certainly compatible in that tank, the agassiz would also look good infact any peaceful dwarf cichilds would be a good addition

garyroland ---Prime Fish--- Posts: 7878 Kudos: 4010 Votes: 103 Registered: 31-Dec-2001	Just a sidenote... I ordered seven pairs of Cobra Guppies from Foster & Smith (LiveAquaria.com) and received them in excellent condition here in Florida. The shipment was from California. --garyroland. --Vero Beach, Florida. Last edited by garyroland at 09-Oct-2004 15:50

superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003	What about apistos? If it were my tank I'd go with a pair of A. agassizi. Closest of what you've listed would probably be the rams. ><>
