Stocking my 210 (7x2x2)

[Dirck]

So I think the question now is... What should I get instead of rams? Was hoping for at least 1 more type of fish since the tank has a pretty big footprint.

With angels u could add severums, festivums, red head tapajos, loaches, coydoras etc.. Ur tank is big, so u won't have a problem. IMO rams r too small for a 210 g tank anyways. In my new 200g I have 2 green terrors, 1 texas, pair of convicts, 7 clown loaches, 1 BGK, 1 red tail shark and 1 clown knife (will be rehomed when gets too big) (all juvies) and I'm thinking of adding a few more fish.

I have a 6-7" BGK with guppies and angels and he never even chased one. Mine is pretty peaceful but there may be some that r more aggressive although I doubt that even a full grown BGK could swallow a ram cichlid since their mouths r pretty small.

My mother has a bgk. She also HAD a few rams. They randomly started disappearing lol. It's in a 75 gallon that's 18" front to back for size reference. Speaking for myself, sometimes I can have a hard time really grasping the size some fish get because I always see smaller specimens and rarely see them fully grown.
