Hi guys, I have a 2ft planted tank with Eheim 2224 system and weekly or 2 times a week 30% water change.
I have about 20 cherry shrimps & 20 malayan shrimps & 2 ottos and 40 cardinal tetras. Would like to add 1 SAE & a pair of Rams. Is it okay and where can I get nice rams?
If need be, I can always reduce the number of tetras.

Seems like the bio load is at its edge or even over the board....may need to reduce or you might well face with algae problems.

sze, u sure have alot of cardinal for a 2ft... i would say a grp of 8-10 for a 2ft is acceptable... beware not to overload yr fishstock, algae problems always arise from it
steve,
Not sure Rams & shrimps can live together?
Rams and shrimps sure can live together..I had them in my tank..no problems. Just make sure you have hiding places for the shrimps just in case the need arises.

Hmmm....like that then I think must put them somewhere else liao. Is it okay to put cardinal tetras with Discus in a bare discus tank?
Food for discus!!!!! Stop!!!! If that is the only solution..I think its better to let the cardinals remain in the 2ft.

So my bioload is definitely too high issit? 40 cardinal tetras...hmmm...Okay, I'll reduce it to 10 then. Will put the other 30 into my dad's pond.
Rams are possibly dangerous to cherry shrimps. Due to the small size, they are potential food sources to the rams.
But so far, I've not heard of or seen discus chasing cardinals for food... As a shoal, most tetras do match discus for very compatible tank mates....
As for Rams, unless they are yamatos and of a certain size... else try not to...

okay, thank you for everyone's advice.
Now my tank has 13 cardinals, 2 ottos and 10 malayan shrimps,20 cherry shrimps. Will add an SAE.
Last night I catch the 30 cardinals until siao. Now they're in my dad's pond.
Would like to know if Malayan shrimps will eat plants or not...
They might devour the moss and mebbe riccia...but the rest would be safe from them....
