I currently have a 29 gallon tank with 4 dwarf puffers, 4 ottos, 9 tiger barbs, 1 paradise gourami, and 2 banjo cats. If I were to move the the dwarf puffers into a ten gallon do you think a pair of bolivian rams would be ok to put in the 29 gallon with the fish i listed above? Also will they feel comfortable enough in that tank to breed? OR should i just get a 15 gallon and have a small school of something to go with a pair of rams? If i got a 15 it should be a tall 15 gallon so i woudln't have to go buy a whole new setup just the tank.

They would do fine in the tank but maynot breed but pair off.

Wouldnt the paradise and rams be constantly fighting? My experience with paradise fish is that they dont like anything more colorful than them. Also the tiger barbs tend to be really active fish my reading on rams states they like less active species around them.

Id go with the new tank. 20g cant be much more expensive than the 15g and probably alot easier to get equip for.
