Tank Mates for Electric Blue Rams?

[dk4783]

Hey,

I have a 65g that currently has...
3 Electric Blue Rams
4 Glass Catfish
1 Clown Pleco
1 Cardinal Tetra
1 Zebra Danio

I would like some colorful and active fish. I think I'm going to return the glass catfish, because all they do is huddle together under my rock formation. I had 3 zebra danios as starter fish and I'm pretty sure the remaining zebra danio ate the other two because it is really fat. I'm thinking about buying more cardinal tetras, but 4 died during the first day last time I tried to introduce them, and thatd be a lot of electric blue color.

What do you guys think I should add?

Thanks

Cardinal Tetras.. since you only have 1.. Drip acclimate them. Cardinals are really sensitive.. some are always bound to die.. buy like 10.. XD

German Blue Rams, Silver Fin Tetras, Cori Adolfois

All cool active fish that will go fine with what you have

Thanks, the only problem is i tried a german blue ram, and the electric blue rams killed him in two days . I'll start researching those fish.

I think it depends on wheter you have males or females. I had one of each GBRs and the male chased the female to death.

thanks, my GBR was male and got killed by the two male EBRs, anyone else have suggestions?

what's your tank set up like? Do you have any pictures?
65g is a small foot print 36x18. You have to think about how much you have in each zone of the tank. The bottom zone seems pretty full up with the rams, cats, and plec. Before suggestions, it's sometimes better to see your set up first.

I'd try a school of tetras, maybe lemons or diamonds. They'll school and move about the upper part of the tank.
