Small fish that can go in this tank

[Chiclid addict]

So I wanted some smaller fish to go with my discus but the only problem is that all the fish I want can fit in a rope fish’s mouth if something can possibly fit in there mouth the will eat it so I need something that’s small like a tetra but won’t fit in a rope fish’s mouth

Rams are the only thing I can think of that would definitely work, but maybe full grown Rummy Nose Tetras?

Are all rams the same I’ve never kept them before but I’ve always wanted blue rams

I think all the variations of Mikrogeophagus ramirezi will be happy in Discus temps. So I think that means German Blues, Goldens etc. This forum has some serious Ram breeders so someone will be able to correct me if I’m wrong.

Wait . . . you keep ropefish with discus??? This I've got to see! Please upload photos and / or videos.

I agree with @Patrick_G that Rams are a fine tank-mate for discus.

Watch the first 2 mins of this video to see the Gold-Blue Opal Rams we bred with our discus.

We've since sold all of these Rams, but I'm currently working on a summer project breeding normal GBRs again. If you're interested, you can follow that journal-thread here.
