Bolivian Rams

[AquaticHooper23]

Can someone give me help on Bolivian Rams? Can a pair live in a 29 gallon? Also what are the basic care needs and wants of them? Also could 1 be quarantined in a 5 gallon planted for a week? Thanks

A pair would be fine in a 29. I myself would not quarantine in a 5 gallon a 10 yes tho.

Instead of a pair, would I be able to get one Bolivian and one angel?

It's said that you can keep an angel in a 29, breeder setups keep a single pair of angels in a 29 without anything else in the tank, but honestly I couldn't imagine putting any of my angels in a 29, my almost full grown angel just wouldn't have enough room to be happy. They also get more territorially aggressive in a smaller tank.

Are blue rams the same as German blue rams?

Blue rams are the same thing as german blue rams. There are bolivian rams, german blue rams, electric blue rams, and gold rams commonly seen in the aquarium trade.

Alright thanks, because I just purchased two blue rams today. Hopefully one male and one female but I'm guessing its just both females.
