Bolivian Ram Question - Aquarium Advice

Cloud · 04-26-2006, 04:45 PM

Been doing alot of reading up on these guys, the LFS has a great deal on them. I think I am going to pick some up, do they prefer groups of two, four, male/female? I havent found a site that suggests the grouping they like.

They are really quite peaceful for cichlids but are best kep in a single pair.

It also depends on the size of the aquarium that you'll be keeping them in and the tankmates that they will have. I have a pair (male/female.. I think) of Bolivian Rams in a 46 gallon (tankmates listed in my signature).

I have two, and they are quite peaceful. The male sailfin molly pushes them about sometimes. Although they do have their own arguments between themselves. I don't know if I have two males, two females, or a combination.
