Sweetpickles Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I am just so pleased how my rams are behaving now that I have added the 3 new frm qt to 36 gal with the 2 original. Yesterday was the first time I had seen them shoaling throughout the entire tank! I have platies in qt right now with cories to add in a few weeks. I was thinking I would like to add a specie of fish with similar shoaling behavior as the rams for mid tank. They are like a little family, reminds me if my own at times🤪. Any suggestions? I have been wanting forktail rainbows but not sure they are for this tank now. Black neon? What do you think? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I think your fully stock for a 36 gallon I wouldn't add more fish you will also have to take into account fry off your platys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I haven't kept rams I looked up Bolivian rams I was planning on getting some had to scale back my plans when I had to down size Edited December 6, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpickles Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 @Colu I hope one day you can keep bolivian rams. They have a neat personality. I started with 2 thinking that was all I would get then ad other community fish. I am soooo glad I added more rams! Completely changed their personality for the better. As with most fish I suppose. Thank you for your input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpickles Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I am still curious about other shoaling behaviored fish to keep with rams. If anyone has any ideas. I do still have an empty 35. I can switch around fish in the future. Edited December 6, 2021 by Sweetpickles Wrong word from auto correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
