blue rams havent kept before, but I did keep bolivians had five of them got one good pair, kept all five in a 20 gal. along with a small plecos and killifish (these suckers are sneeky and they will eat the fry!) threw in some rocks and plants, and wala there they were...maybe I got lucky? they've bred twice so far, but haven't bred since I relocated the two to my other tank, but they are inseparable I swear they have feelins for one another!
