    hi there everyone so i've been thinking very carefully about the stocking i would like for my competition tank. the galaxies will definately be going in and i'd love to increase my school to about 15 - 20 if the tank will hold it. then i was thinking of some of those Microrasbora Kubotai or green tetras also a fairly big school of 15 - 20, then maybe some otos or khuli loaches. so thats the first option.

    second i was thinking the increased school of galaxies plus a pair of german blue rams or bolivian rams, from what i can see and have read the blue rams are more colourful but that the bolivian rams have more personality, are better parents and hardier.and possibly some otos again. the rams would then be the centre point of this stocking and the galaxies to provide movement and interest.

    finally the 3rd option is to have one of the rams sp, and smaller schools of both the galaxies and the green tetras.

    so what do you guys think. having never kept rams i would appreciate any thoughts on either species and your thoughts on which stocking option you think would work better.

    thanks guys

    Due to the tank size, I would suggest, sticking with just the galaxies...
