"What's happenin' forum"-Hehe.
I would like to share my newest idea for my ten gallon tank, and after some discussion with members here, I have decided to add a Bolivian Ram into my tank.
Bolivian Rams are dwarf cichlids, and are generally peaceful community fish, unless breeding. While not as brightly colored or sought after as their cousin, the Germam Blue Ram, they share many characteristics yet are different in many ways.
They are both RAMS, meaning when they fight, they butt heads. Kind of cool actually.
The GBR needs a more acidic PH, starting at 7 and going downward. This is a generalization of advice and various websites.
BR can survive in more alkaline waters, like my 7.6 PH.
They are a wonderful addition to any tank, as I have learned from a friend who keeps 6.
I am going to buy the Ram (male, most likely, but maybe a female) either sometime this week, or from now until late December. $6.99 for a beautiful, 2.5in specimen.
He/she shall reside in a non-planted(I know. Will probably plant later after New Year.) 10 gallon aquarium with 3 Platys, 1 Pleco and 1 Fiddler Crab.
Thoughts, ideas, comments everything is appreciated!
