nice tank. sorry they limited you to such a small tank. but glad you can have one! my sister got into trouble for bringing her peace lilly with a betta in it. i still think thats a horrible idea anyway. poor bettas.
anyway. i would say x2 on the electric blue rams. they are awesome. and mini monsters of a sort cuz their still cichlids. but if you want to go with something easier to maintain i would throw like 12 to 15 neon tetra in there. or 10 cardinals. i personally would think the rams might dig up all your plants. and i know thats not fun to fix all the time. real plants and cichlids dont mix in my experience. and many others from what i hear. hell, my fake plants can hardly survive with my fish. they play tug-o-war with them.
and to tydus, that victorian african in your avatar is truly beautiful.i have always wanted one. is it your fish?
