Bolivian rams?

[elephantnose]

I'm just not allowed to put tanks outside my room. I have 3 tanks all In my small room.

 

[Pandicorn]

Mine are in the kitchen, so... Yeah you'd imagine it would have to look nice

 

[elephantnose]

My mom is just weird I guess. My tanks are always pristine. I go all natural not that tacky fake stuff.

Same. No fake stuff for me

Wait would 2 breeding pairs of GBR fit if I added maybe a rock cave or too? (I live next to a creek)

 

[Pandicorn]

?? Need some help

 

[elephantnose]

How big is the tank. When GBRs breed they become aggressive.

 

[Pandicorn]

45 gallons, I THINK 3 ft wide..

Rams don't use caves but it's advised to try to block their view of each other. If your tank is 20+ you could probably get away with two pairs.

 

[elephantnose]

Yea you could get two pairs in that size tank.

 

[Pandicorn]

Would they fight with each other? Also, would Corys, Rummynose tetras, Neon tetras, or a single danio attack the eggs or rams? Would there be aggression??

 

[elephantnose]

There would only be aggression when the rams chase anything too close to their eggs away.

I've read that GBR are sort of... Horrible parents? ...

 

[elephantnose]

They might not be successful on their first tries but they will eventually get it right. No GBRs are good parents.

Actually rams will benefit with a few caves...and I would also suggest adding some more plants to help give more cover for them

No, rams don't use caves it's a waste of money unless you like the look of them.

beg to differ, my female spends lots of time in her moss shrouded half terracota pot... Pretty much a cave..

 

[elephantnose]

Depends on what kind of cave. If you buy a cichlid stone they won't use it but if it's just rocks piled up they might.
