In my experience with all the rams I have had they will pick on each other before anyone else.

Well a 40 breeder has a big footprint so you have more substrate to hold bacteria. You can stock a breeder tank with more than you can your standard tank due to that. Also I have a fluval 306 canister filter rated to 80 gals so I have double the filtration on it.

The key to rams are to have two and they will leave everything else along. They will keep busy with each other. Also rams like to stay at the bottom of the tank where your Bettas stay close to the top they should have very little interaction with each other.

I have four angles, two blue rams, four flag cichlids, a platy, two guppies, danio, African dwarf frog,Cory and three plecos in the same tank. I have no problems tank has been running for 5 months now. Also my rams and angles and flags spawn frequently with no problems. They are in a 40 breeder...

Once you get your canister up and running leave the internal filter running for a few days to help seed the canister just in case. Plecos do a great job of cleaning algae so I say you should always have at least one in every tank. I would do some algae cleaning also just to keep it from getting...

I would leave it and run it after you fix it. The bacteria will survive also it not only in your filter its on your substrate sides of glass decor. Also it don't need much oxygen and there should be enough to help it somewhat survive in the water. Think about it it's a canister filter when it's...

I would go salt. A tank that size would be easy to maintain. If you set it up right you would have to do little to no water changes. Think about it I have a ten gal nano tank and I only do 25% water changes every two weeks now that I have it establish. Everything depends on your cleanup crew get...

So I am getting ready to change my 40 tall into a brackish tank. Looking for some stocking suggestions.

I wouldn't worry I have had mine for a year from time to time they bully each other.

Sounds like your going through a mini cycle. The salt isn't hurting anything I work a a lfs and we have salt in the system with barbs. Also you said this happen after feeding bloodworms right?

Well I take that back they are not unisex but I have no ideal on how to sex them.

They are unisex I just call it a him really don't know why just do. He. Is a little over 1/4 inch long. Just let me know I will post you a pic tomorow.

Ok USPS I can ship it in a flat rate box and get it there in three days which should be fine for a snail. The price would be $6 with delivery com. I always like having delivery com just in case they mess up.

Let me look into the shipping. And I will get ya a pic tomorrow would take it now but the tank I have him in is in my little girls room and she is asleep.

I can get you one ASAP if you will pay shipping I will give it to ya
