Joe Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 You could put either Rams, Apistos, Shellies or Kribs in there. Just stick to one pair or a harem though because they are territorial and if you put more in then they would beat each other up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativelover Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 ok thanks is a harem three? i would love to try breed some rams in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 if your wanting rams, just get a pair, cause the 3rd will get beaten up all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Tank is probably too small for a harem of all of the above and not all of them are harem spawners, when the first pair breed the 3rd female will be given a hiding and there wont be much space for it to hide in. Rams would be a good one, however they are harder to keep and prone to just dropping dead for no apparent reason and the fry are hard to raise..

Joe Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Pretty sure there was a picture on here somewhere of Jennifer's shellie tank which looked very cool. It had some Crypt. balansae in it which I though was nice because I find tanks with lots of sand and no plants pretty boring... It's nice to have a couple of plants here and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
