[mseguin]

Pretty beat up, give em at least a few days. But very colorful.

[jee]

how mutch are the rams ?? for a pair? how big does the tank needs to be to host a couple of rams ?

[mseguin]

6.99 ea., I'd say 10 gal minimum, 20 would be better, with some dithers.

[mseguin]

Generally small schooling fish (such as pencils or small tetras) that both distract the fish and reassure them that no predators are nearby.

[jee]

why are you good like that? :D

[cory]

i personally done think the rams should be with angels. im sure it has been done. however, as the angels age their aggressive starts to show. They will need at least a 20g for the angels. I would say 30g would be better. High tanks would help to when dealing with the angles due to the rams prefering the bottom of the tank for breeding and other purposes. The angels prefer mid to top swimming.

[BigDaddy]

I have had rams with angels in a community tank more than once with no issues.  Angels don't hang around the bottom much... rams do.  The rams and angels will meet in the middle of the tank at times, but I never saw any aggression between 'em

My angels would attack the otos in the tank, but the rams they could care less about.

[mseguin]

I have angels in a tank with Apistos, and they never do anything, they occasionally pick on the betta on there, but notihng lower than mid level.

[babblefish1960]

My personal experience with angelfish and dwarf softwater cichlids has been that even though the angels may be spawning, the boss male apisto does not back down, the angels do. The best they can do is keep him at bay, no injuries though, just a lot of bluster. I say the same for the rams, stodgy little buggers that are fierce about their spawn and back down to no one, not even me. I currently have rams facing off with discus that love to eat fresh fry, and they aren't losing any babies.

That being said, they do need to be treated properly with provision for territories via plant covers and the like, ways in which to keep them from being seen from every direction and vice versa. They are a huge fish in a little body, yet are definitely not a fish for the novice, they can also be quite delicate.

But they are beautiful enough with enough personality to make the effort to learn.
