Martinique Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I have a question: I have a 29 gallon tank, could i do a Ram only tank? And if so, how many rams can i put in the tank, and can i combine them with a clean up crew, and if so which ons and how many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Below is a link for a very informative reference regarding Rams that touches on your questions. Also, as far as a cleaner of some sort goes a bristle nose pleco with plenty of hiding places might do well with a pair of Rams in a 29 gallon. There are other species mentioned in the reference so feel free to check them out. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/ram-cichlid-care-guide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Yes you absolutely can. Otos, in my 29G I have 4. I don't know if this is a "good number" or not, but it's heavily infested with algae and they will never have issues. If you want more, be sure to provide food for them effectively. Wood is also recommended if you have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargerstoLA Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 If you have enough line of sight breaks and caves/hidey holes 4 rams could be done. I have 2 pairs in a 50 gallon tank I have. You could also shoot for. Trio of 2 females and 1 male. With that, a clean up crew of snails would work great. I have horned nerite and they are awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
