Hi all! This is my first post on the forum! Getting back into the hobby after a several year hiatus...
I'm in the middle of stocking my new 20gH tank. It's fully cycled with lots of filtration and aeration. It's planted with lots of fake plants (lots of green and purples) and has a black sand substrate.
I'm looking for ideas for a pair of interesting, colorful, fancy looking fish. The Brad and Jolie of my tank, basically!
Currently, I have the following (AqAdvisor says I'm 75% stocked):
Panda Corys x6
Harlequin Rasboras x 10
My plan was to get two German Blue Rams. BUT I just learned that the rasboras (max 77F) and rams (min 78.8F) aren't really compatible temperature-wise. The guy at the fish store told me it shouldn't be an issue if I keep tank at 78F...and honestly, being in SoCal, I doubt I can keep my tank any cooler during summer.
Thoughts on this? Will the rasboras and rams be fine at 78F? Otherwise, any good ideas for some other showcase fish that are more compatible?
THANKS!
