how mant bolivian or german blue rams in a 10

[klmt]

what the title says how many in a tank, considering pairs. could i do 2 pairs.

I honestly think the tanks too small for even a single Ram, personally. 20+ for a pair of Rams in my opinion, maybe 2 pairs in a 29.

 

[Lupin]

Agreed with Japes. A pair of either species for a 20g long.

Some people bred a single pair of germans in a 10 gallon tank ... but I wouldn't recommend it and deffinately would never try it. Bolivans just get way to large to have a pair in that tank, I wouldn't even do one unless it was a quarentine tank.

I'd do a pair of german blue rams in a normal 20H gallon, but I won't force a pair of bolivians in anything less than a 20 Long. They get twice the length and more than twice the mass of germans.

'German Blue Ram' is also a term that is thrown around way too loosely.

 

[darth pike]

Sadly in the states it's become the common name for Microgeophagus ramirezi regardless if it is wild, fish farmed, or the bluer german color phase.

In other words, yes I agree it's used way too loosely.

[japes]

Balloon rams definitely aren't German bred.
