Blue rams?

[pip 40]

I have a tropical tank with serpae tetras cardinals golwlights and platies and rummy nose. will 1 or 2 Blue rams be alright in the tank with them?

It would depend on your tank size. The fish will be good tank mates but Rams will need a tank at least 36" long.

Don't forget that they are cichlids and may breed in your tank. If they do, they will become aggressive towards all fish that go too near to their eggs or babies.

You may also have the problem of having 2 males. If you do, they might fight. Having plenty of plants and hiding places....as well as a big enough tank will stop this.

Lastly, Rams are notorious for not being very long lived. Ask your supplier what water he keeps them in (just normal tap water or RO water ?).

Good luck...they're gorgeous fish which i've had the pleasure of breeding on many occasion.
