I dont have much! I have a 10 gal tank (for now) with 6 Microgeophagus Ramirezi (Blue Rams) and 3 Pseudotropheus Demasoni . They're all tiny yet. The biggest ram is BARELY an inch long, and all the others are considerably smaller than him. I'll have pics shortly, having issues with my digi cam....

Previously I had 3 flounder, 2 fiddler crabs, 2 green spotted puffers, a pleco, and a black ghost knife fish, but after the puffers ate everything else in the tank besides the pleco (which I gave away to a friend, he wasn't happy, I have a sand bottom) I decided that I needed a change of scenery

Oh, yeah, I have pics of the puffers, black ghost knife fish, and the flounders, but I don't know if you really care to see them since I don't have them anymore...

springtyme?! ahahaha what kinda girly girl name is that, for chrissake i hope ur female. the fact that there's a coolguy expression next to your post only adds to the irony. "Yo yo wassa *****s, I'm SPRINGTYME, *****!"

couldnt resist.

I don't recall ever having seen a flounder in an aquarium, is it a freshwater specie? how big? would like to see pics of it. Wouldn't be surprised at all if 1 demasoni decides to take over the tank and harass/slay everything else in there... risky setup, oughta look into a bigger tank pretty soon, cuz they won't be minuscule for too long...

Haha, yes, I'm female. I believe it was a freshwater species of flounder, but they were in a Brackish tank (obviously with the puffers) and fared fine until they became dinner :22_yikes:

Oh, and as far as the demasoni goes, so far *keeping fingers crossed* while they all seem to nip at each other, they seem to stay out of each others way. The rams seem more aggressive towards each other than the demasoni's do, which I don't understand at all. Everything I read on rams says that they're not too aggressive... *shrugs* maybe its something in the water leftover from the ravenous puffers?

 

[piranha45]

rams can kill each other, its definitely not unheard of. They have high conspecific aggression, but they stay so small compared to other cichlids that they can be quickly written off in tanks with larger fish.
