Dave+Amy Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 We decided to have a look at what Animates had to offer (because of their 2 for 1 fish deal) and ended up getting 2 young Gold Rams, 2 young Blue Rams and 2 Siamese Algae Eaters ...pretty awesome deal - too bad they didn't have any Cardinals in stock NOW - I've also fallen in love with the young Gold Severems there, wanting to know if these are compatible with dwarf cichlids, Discus and tetras?

Dixon1990 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Are the rams balloon strain or normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Gold Rams are balloons and Blue Rams are normal strain..will post photos when camera charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 NOW - I've also fallen in love with the young Gold Severems there, wanting to know if these are compatible with dwarf cichlids, Discus and tetras? I would say no, they get to big and can get a bit nasty. Discus, rams, cardinals are peacefull and prefer higher temps etc. Was that deal just in Wellington?

Dave+Amy Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 dam...it was so adorable...I'll have to start up another Amazon tank I guess lol. I'm not too sure just ring up your local Animates but the ones in Wgtn have this deal until sunday. Was a bit guttered that they were out of loaches though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I would say no, they get to big and can get a bit nasty. Discus, rams, cardinals are peaceful and prefer higher temps etc. I agree. My Severums don’t get along with many other fish at all accept tetras and catfish. But Rams aren’t the most peaceful fish in the world. They can be a bit temperamental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 *waits for Ira to pipe up about bought/brought* The sevs will get far too big and boisterous for the rams, although TM they will handle the higher temps fine (come from similar area to the cardinals and rams). Can't wait for pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW - I've also fallen in love with the young Gold Severems there, wanting to know if these are compatible with dwarf cichlids, Discus and tetras? Yes, yes and no(Unless they're full grown tetras) I've always found my severums to be very calm and perfectly fine with tetras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
