    Hey Fish Peeps

    I have A South American themed 120l planted tank setup with a pair of juvenile marble koi angels and a small school of bronze Corydoras and I was thinking of adding a pair or Rams to have something interesting in mid-water. I've read in multiple sources that those two species can be kept together successfully as they like the same parameters as the angels...but that some aggression can happen as the fish mature and establish territories. The tank is at 28degrees C, really solid, ample filtration (for the size) and loads of rock, wood and plants. Any experience with rams? Do you think they are a good idea with the current stocking?

    I have kept Rams and angels together successfully, although it was only a pair of Rams and 3 angels in a 300lt tank, sure it is OK but I think 120 lt tank is a little small though.... Just my 2c;)

    Agree.
    Should ok as long as there is enough space for the Rams to escape any aggression.
    Tank is well planted, so seems to be a few hiding places.
    But it is on the small side.
