GBR's (german blue rams) are gentle for cichlids. They get along with fish like neons, so your lemon tetras shouldn't be an issue. The problem could be with the angel, gourami, and barbs as they can be fin nippers. Now, on the other side of the coin, those lil GBRs are pretty fiesty so it could work out fines. You said it's well planted, are there any caves for them to hide in? They do like that.

Now, on to the down side of GBR's, and I can speak from experience. They are hard to keep alive. My boyfriend and I have gone through more than I care to count since we started with them back in Feb. They are picky about their water, it must be clean. But they are also very sensitive to changes in their water. They like a low ph but can adapt if acclimated properly. So far the batch we got last week is still alive and spawned last night.


Once you get through all the other issues, they live past the first month/ month and a half, they should be ok. But be prepared for mysterious deaths. It happens alot with them.

They are very beautiful fish and fun to watch if you have a pair that decides to mate. They flutter at each other and rub against each other, next thing you know you have eggs on a flat surface.
