Hey everyone! I have 2 GBRs, 2 gold and 2 bolivian rams and 20 neons. Is it possible to add a male betta? Would they all get along? Oh, its a 55 gallon tank.

maxwellag said:I wouldn't... The rams will get pretty aggressive if they breed. What are the dimensions of the tank? And what size are the rams
No it wouldn't work. I tried adding a Betta with one Bolivian. The Betta went nuts and starting fighting. Either one will kill the other, sorry. And that sounds a little overstocked

maxwellag said:Every betta has a different personality. You can't say that it won't work ased on your own single experience.
kelbaker79 said:Hmmm...what would you suggest? The only reason I'm asking is because I rescued this little betta from a friend who has him in a 1 gallon with no filtration, heater, etc. I have 12 tanks up and running but they are all African Cichlid tanks except for this one 55, so wasn't sure if it would work or not? Just don't want anyone to get hurt
maxwellag said:You could try it, but if the rams breed you might have problems. Just watch them closely.
reefdiver said:Why don't you try a tank divider. Give the betta maybe a 10" swimming space. I'm guessing your 55 is 48" long.
