No.

As for tankmates, here's what I consider to be a good list of possible SA tankmates for Angels/Rams and are community friendly


- Apistogramma (all species - best kept in trios I believe)
- Mesonauta festivus "Festivum"
- Laetacara dorsigera "Red Breast Acara"
- Laetacara curviceps "Dwarf Flag Cichlid"
- Cleithracara maronii "Keyhole Cichlid"
- Dicrossus filamentosus "Checkerboard Cichlid"
- Geophagus (all - but your tanks too small, they're nice in larger communities)
- Aequidens metae (No experience with this fish)

All of these fish will thrive in community environments if you choose to risk Tetra with your angels, too. I don't recommend Blue Acara to be kept with Angels or small tankmates like Rams, either. Regarding Rams and water parameters/pH levels, if you're keeping Blue Rams they are generally picky about water, but their brothers, Bolivian Butterfly Rams, are not.
 
Safe guys. Thanks very much for your advice. I'll have a look what the LFS has...don't think they have many apistos, but i'll have a look.
Cheers
 
if your going to get discus i would research them alot more, and would get 3 not 2 as they are a somewhat schooling fish
otherwise you could do some smaller dwarf cichlids
 
most non aggressive cichlids will work if you wan't breeding pair to prevent conflict in the tank go for dwarf cichlids discus work we'll with rams some times not angles but most non aggressive fish that won't eat them will work fine

if you get geos go for gymnogeophagus there alot smaller alot of geophagus get pretty big and may eat your rams
 
If you want a SA theme, adding a school of tetras and some pictus cats or corys would look really good.
