Aquarium Advice FINatic
My cycling woes are still ongoing, but once I am eventually done, I have a question:
I saw some good rams at my lfs that were just gorgeous fish. I hadn't really thought about getting any, but these were so pretty it will be hard to resist them. I know that rams in general are somewhat delicate. Does that mean it is a bad idea for them to be the first to introduce after my tank has cycled? I have no problem introducing sturdier fish in the beginning and being patient and putting the rams in later. I just don't know how common they are, and am worried about them being all gone once I am ready.
Also, I know they are generally peaceful. But are there issues with aggression if you have more than a pair? If I do change my intended stocking scheme to go with rams, I might consider a pair of golds, and a pair of the traditionally-colored rams. I have not read one way or the other whether this would be an issue.
