Thinking of getting a new fish

[BizzareKid]

So I was thinking of getting a electric blue ahli cichlid, but they would be aggressive to my gouramis righ?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Oh yea, I'd suggest a ram it appisto, what size tank

 

[BizzareKid]

Hahaha yea I just want to get everything! And 29 gal

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea a ram sounds good, I'm adding a Bolivian in my 29, but it depends on how many bottom feeders you have already

 

[BizzareKid]

They are very pretty! I want some too! And I don't have any yet but what do you suggest me getting?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Well, if your adding a Bolivian or a German, I would suggest kuhli loaches, they are awesome!

 

[BizzareKid]

Thank you! I'm definitely getting some!

My male bolivian ram is a peaceful guy. That is after he killed 2 female bolivian rams first

 

[BizzareKid]

I'm sorry to hear that

I don't see how a bottom feeders affect getting rams unless your worried about eggs getting eaten?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

No it's because you might have already too many bottom feeders and the ram can turn aggressive, or you might already have two rams, and adding a third one is a bad idea, that's why I'm asking

Sorry to but in but adding another ram would be a bad idea. Would you consider a pleco. ?

Cusious to know why you think adding another ram would be a bad idea? We have two German golds and a German blue balloon they get along fine togethet

Once they pair up the become aggressive to the weaker of the grouo. They also are notorious fin nippers

 

[cheesy318]

Havenr seen anything like that yet but thanks for the info

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, once they pair they will destroy the other ram, or they will be like, hey I want more room, and you too let's go beat that weaker one so we can have more space

 

[cheesy318]

Well we have another tank so if something Happens we can do some swapping

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, I would remove one before it happens, it could be too injured before you move it

Where could I get the Kuhli loaches from? Is that a stand alone fish store purchase or could I maybe swing down to the local petsmart ( ideal since the wife works at the Banfield Pet Hospital inside and gets a 15% discount)... Lol
