Rams first??

[Pandicorn]

I am getting some bolivian rams, but I my Petsmart (not half bad, actually! Lady was pretty knowledgeable) for my 45 gal (just cycled, got 5 pep cories)... I am planning on 5 rams, then sell the 3 that don't pair off. So should I add my rams FIRST like lady said, or last?

Should add them last

 

[JessiNoel21]

Last would be better

The usual rule of thumb is to add fish in order of aggression levels. Start off with your super timid fish, let them settle for a week, then add the boisterous yet peaceful fish, then the semi-aggressive ones, then the territorial ones. Rams tend to be on the territorial side, so they would be added near the end.
