cosmiccreepers Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Please excuse my ignorence, but can Kribs, Blue Rams and Bolivian Butterflies live happily together? My Christmas project is a 3ft tank I bought back in May (yes, I've been itching to get this up and running) I have some Blue Rams and I know they will get along with the bolivian butterflies. But I was at the LFS the other day and found some ablino kribs and fell in love with them. If they will get along, my plan is to have well planted tank (crypts, anubius and java ferns) with possibly 2 pairs of each. I'm not intending for them to breed, but if they do, Bonus!

JiggyJigs Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Not too sure how the others will handle the Kribs... Never know, it could work out, but only try it if your prepared to loose some fish , which no one really wants to do. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianos Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 The different rams may head butt each other a little but if they are healthy fish they will be fine in my experience. (Then after some time the blue rams will die but they do that regardless of the presence of tank mates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmiccreepers Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I think I might keep the Kribs in another tank though. Just my luck I'll proberly get some very agressive ones when they spawn. Cheers, Cassandra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Cassandra - Normal rams (ie: blue or gold) are picky little critters who tend to die if you look at them wrong . Bolivians are great fish. In a 4' tank you could keep a pair of bolivians and a pair of something relatively peaceful (keyholes?). Make sure it is densely planted and you have lots of logs, caves etc for cover.
