Have a 35G and I plan on having 1 angel, 1 keyhole, 1 GBR, 1 dwarf gourami. I already have 3 otos, 8 penguin tetras and 6 leopard cories. I was going to get a Bolivian ram but like the look of GBR better. They are labeled as blue rams at my LFS. How much harder are they to keep? My ph is around 7.2.
How much harder is it to keep GBR?

GBRs are supposed to be super sensitive, but if you acclamate them well and keep them in for a while they get used to it and IME have been some very hardy fish. They're just super sensitive to water quality (especially pH fluxes) so be careful about that.

Either or, depends on how much you want the fish. Personally I like GBRs better because they're one of my fish I keep and are really cool, but that's just me.
I like the color and my stocking list lacks it. All I have for brighter colors is a DG. Again it'll likely be a decision at the store. I'm liking GBRs better though.
You say you've had GBR. Have you had any problems? Or have things gone smoothly?
