liseyy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 as ira said it would be a good exercise to go to the local fish shop and tell them you only want male neon tetras though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liseyy Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to say the guy probably didnt know what he was talking about, as Jack Dempseys can be aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
