I agree, Rams look great! I would look into them!

rams are much better off in tanks with larger footprints.......i would only do some in a 20L or something bigger than a 29G.........

unless ur doing only 1

and then u can pretty much take away all the options for bottom dwellers as rams are aggressive to most bottom dwellers in most cases

i agree though that corys and rams have been done in some cases(even in my own tanks, but i have lost 2 corys in 3 years......due to rams i think)

I already have a ram tank I'm looking for a diffrent kind of fish thats small and can keep a nice group but not tetras because I also have a tetra tank

Maybe some type of barbs or minnow? Hatchet fish maybe.

 

[TheFishBoss97]

+1^

marbled hatchets are pretty neat

 

[Hobgob]

Only thing is they are known for jumping out of the tank. We lost 3.

What about celestial pearl danios or some other small schooler that isn't a tetra? Some of the smaller killifish species perhaps? Golden dwarf cichlid? Trio of dg?

 

[Hobgob]

I would probably just go with barbs although they are not a schooling fish. They are more of a shoaling fish

 

[Cilantro]

Ya I really like they chery barbs how many would I be able to have anf woyld they dui good with my pitbull pleco

I had 7 in my 35 but one vanished... Couldn't find it anywhere! And I have a bristle pleco and breeding kribs with mine. I use them for dither fish because they are quick and not as fragile as tetras seem.
