CalebLS Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I want to keep a pair of GBR's in a low tech planted tank by themselves. Is a 50l tank sufficent to keep them and would it be okay if they ever want to breed? Any tips for GBR's? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 A bit bigger would probably be better, but it would depend on the foot print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 TBH that tank is a little small - 80 litres is really the minimum size. Tips for keeping them - the water quality needs to be impeccable, the tank requires grouped plants with open swimming spaces and also rocky hiding places and also some smooth larger stones for the female to lay eggs on. The fish can become agressive when breeding (it won't be an issue if you only have a pair of GBR in the tank), both parents share the raising of the fry. Ensure the fry can't get sucked into the filter. Water quality is essential, if it is not kept absolutely perfect the adult rams and/or fry will not survive.
