hi, im planning to buy a pair of rams and will put it in a 75 with 3 black tetras,8 serpeas, 10neons and 2 hara hara catfish.. if my rams were able to spawn will some fry survive? please help and can you give suggestions on what other cichlids can i put in the tank? thank you.
 
I would view the smaller tetras in the same category as there larger cousins when it comes to potential food, Your fry chance of survival with the tetras and the catfish in the same tank even with the parents present to offer protection are very, very low.
 
i doubt it seeing there are other fishes there to harm the fry...for me i had to move the fry eggs to another tank because every like 3 weeks my pair lays eggs again but i only succeeded to only get 5 alive from like thousands even with nothing to eat them up
