Here is my idea.

  • 75Gallon tank
  • Planted
  • 6Hideing spots
  • (1)Black Ghost knife
  • (1)Gold severum
  • (3)Blue German Rams 1M 2F
  • (1)Gold Nugget Pleco
  • (5)Tiger Barbs
  • (5)Assor. under 5" fish like larger Tetras
Do you think there would be any of these fish would conflict? I understand that the tetras mit disapear but would the Knife bother the Rams or the Rams bother it or the sevrums bother the Knifes?? Help me out i am new to Knifes and Rams and Severums. Please Help me? And would these fish eat the BGK food?
 
All in all it's not bad, but severums can sometimes be plant eaters...Otherwise it's ok, the sev might bother the knife, the knife might bother the rams, but as with most aquariums, it's always a bit of a gamble...If it was my tank I'd do it.
 
Fish food is fish food. All fish will eat what you give them. Your best bet is to try to hand feed it or drop food in at night. BGKcan be trained to eat in the day and/or out of your hand, but patience is needed. I here that Anubias plants are the way to go. Most fish won't touch them. I have some, but they are a bit tore up. I think the GT and/or plecos tear them up.
 
id get rid of the rams, they will probably be killed by something in that tank.
 
I think its a good idea, Get some tetras that grow as big as the tiger barbs, then they can school together and most likely wont nip at the ghosts fins.
