Dont want babies!

Hi all,

Just wondering whether keeping singles of certain fish is ok? I have a 180l tank and have a female krib, would love a bolivian ram but dont want any babies so just want one ram. Would the fish be happy in that situation, and how likely is the krib and ram to get along? I have lots of caves and driftwood/plants etc. :cr1:

Not ideal for schooling fish, but kribs and rams are not schooling.

Because I am def not allowed another tank to grow them out in, if any survived. Think I'd end up divorced! I have a 180 and a 110. 110l has neons (both sexes!) and pencils with peppered cories. Actually when I bought my krib the LfS guy told me a jack Dempsey was a good community fish, and that blue rams are.easy to keep, not sure those statements correct

so don't start another tank, just leave them to it and any that make it are a bonus that you don't need to spend money on buying.

Just leave any young in the tank with the rest of the fish, they will probably get eaten, but if you weren't wanting to keep the young in the first place it wont matter that much.

I am going to say the guy probably didnt know what he was talking about, as Jack Dempseys can be aggressive.
