Honduran red points and plants, compatible?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Are they good community fish? I want to get them with a harem of german blue rams, 6pcs perhaps? Do you think they will be OK in a heavily planted tank? I am planning to return my rainbows and my t-bars and then rescape my tank adding the less hardy plants. I already have the rocks and the driftwood in there. Fingers-crossed I am hoping they (the HRP's) would let the anacharis, cabomba, the bacopas and the rotallas thrive.
I have mine now in an aggressive tank. I previously had them in a tank with nanos, Myrnae, gold rams, German rams, and rainbow cichlids.They wasn't aggressive to the others, but the HRP attacked each other and the rainbow cichlids

Maybe rams would be a bit delicate I had to remove 2 full grown electric blue acara as my hrp male was bullying them

Guys, now I am having a dilemma. I would like to get a pair of HRP's but then again I want to have a small school of rams, too. Both are beautiful fish in a planted tank. I need to think this over.
 
Blue rams aren't the best idea for a planted tank because they prefer temps well above the range most (though not all) plants do well at.

Unless you mean bolivian rams of course, which would work well.
