Ram

[ehlim]

Rams look so beautiful. But they also look kind of aggressive. Are Rams compatible with Rummy-nose and Cardinal tetras, Otos and Yamatoes? What is the average price of a good quality RAM? If I were to have 6 RAMs in a 4 feet tank, do I have to be concern on the male to female ratio? Tks.

Rams are naturally peaceful and makes them a great community fish to keep, they do not attack or disturb other fishes in your tank. I would maybe get more females than males IMHO. Average price for a good quality one will be about S$4 - S$5. For such a big tank, you can easily house 8 of them, with places for them to hide and stuff....

my 2 cents

Tks. At a Tampines LFS, I saw Rams classed as Holland, Marble and Golden. Are they all suitable for a newbie?

marble?? is there such a variant? I onli know rams come as holland/german or gold.... the gold rams are nice contrast in a planted tank.....its easy to keep fish for beginners..

gold rams will still go after cherries rite?
is sexing of gold rams similar to that of holland/german rams?

[Cacatuoides]

I haven't seen Rams going for shrimps in my experience.......sexing gold rams not very sure, maybe see the body shape or something? I'm more familiar with the regular Rams...
