SamH Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 It's Livingart, he's the Fishroom Sage. I have two young Bolivian Butterfly Rams in a 54L tank with two Otto Cats. I'd imagine them and corys would get on just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 hmm the reason I'm asking is because on a fish compatibility chart it has cory and rams as not compatible, I presume because they compete for the bottom. I did have a bristlenose that didn't get on with the cory as they liked the same food he did - they weren't aggressive about it though (he was!)

JK Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ive had them together, by rams even spawned with the corys there. 2 rams 6 corys. Same for me - even with the spawn. Dont have any corys right now but have blue rams in with GBA's and also no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink_fish Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Bolivian rams are probably the most peaceful cichlids I've ever encountered. We have our pair in with a siamese fighter, guppies, Blue rams, an algae eater, small pleco etc. Have had corys in there from time to time too, absolutely no problems at all. As for tank size, Bolivians are biggish for dwarf cichlids – our male is almost 10 cm long (including his tail), females are smaller – ours is about 6-7 cm I would guess – so absolutely nothing smaller than a 2 ft, and preferably bigger. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
