Ram compatability question

[rreekers]

hello,
I am looking to restock my 60g hexagon tank.

I really want to get some rams but am unsure if they can live with my current stock.
the tank is planted, well established, 50-60% weekly water change.

I have 5 sword tails 1 aggressive male, 3 temperamental females and a juvenile.
5 kuhli loaches
3 gold dust mollies 1:2f,
1 BN pleco

I THINK you could keep guppies..

You could easily do 3-4 IMO. Try for more females

if the guppies didn't work out I have other tanks and places to rehome them too.

what about tetras ? like silver tips and/ or neons? just curious

I will look into how to sex them

Most any tetra is alright with rams. I have angels, gliwlight tetras, and hatchetfish with my ram. Totally fine

4 rams would probably be the most you'd want to put into that tank. Get 2 males and 2 females, otherwise you are asking for problems.

OK thank you!

If your going with rams in your hex tank I would get one pair, if you go for two make sure you have plenty of cover and hiding places cause they can get territorial towards other rams. Let's see some pics!!!!
