How many Rams you think i can get in a 20g? And would a Striped Raphael be okay to put in there with them? Let me know because a lady has a 20g in the paper for $10 comes with everything!!!
first of all never ever pass up a cheap tank second of all do not get a raphael catfish as they are extremely boring and you will never see them and I do not see a problem with 6 or 7 rams in a 20 you should also make it a heavily planted tank they would love that...
Well my Raphael "Hermes" Will need a new home because the Oscars and Silver Tips will pick on when they all get full grown but i suppose i could just put him in the African Cichlids tank. Would Corys go good with rams or how about a Syndontis? Also how do you tell the difference between Male and Female Rams?
Look at their dorsal fins. The first two spines are longer on the male. Males also show more color and grow larger. Females are stockier, plumper, and have blue spangles in that black blotch. Females also get a faint pink blush on their bellies at spawning time.
I don't know about the cardinals, but I know my rams much prefer the low 7's (ph) more then they do the medium to high 6's despite everything I've read on them saying to keep them in acidic water (6.6 - 6.8 ph).
