Love the Bolivian rams. Great community fish

Just bought two of these guys today for my 75 gallon community tank. Can't wait to pick them up tonight.

OMG, you are such a wonderful narrator! I enjoyed this so much.

They are beautiful! Last nights stream was super fun! I really enjoyed it 😊

Great fish! Thanks Dan

Thanks Dan I bought three Bolivian Rams and they are great with the sand substrate thank you for the tip. Also my Harlequin rasboras follow my Bolivian Rams around to pick up the scraps that they toss up into the water . Perfect combo of Peaceful Hardy fish

This was a good and informative video. I plan to get 4 for my 200l

Really informative video, thank you! I just picked up 4 today for my planted 340L community tank and they're already firm favourites of mine 👍🏻

super cool vid there i just got these beauty fishes as well cheers

very pretty ram

Great video. I love my Bolivian ram. My daughter named it Robi because they kind of move around like robots as they start and stop swimming in that jerky motion.

Another fun video Dan! Love these fish and the German Gold Rams as well.

This video has a great amount of info! I just got a bolivian ram 2 days ago, while actually wanting a cacatoutie....it seemed like a better choice, due to my limited experience. I had a golden ram, which only live about a year. This one is already making me laugh, as I have him in community tank with a honey gourami, and they follow each other around, slowly, with the honey petting the ram on the head with his feeler arm. Thanks for the video, and the info in the comments.

Extremely underrated fish!

I have a single ram in a community tank and it was shy at first but eventually started behaving just like the fish in this video.

Just got two of these today, I really wanted chichlids but also wanted a community tank

I have one Bolivian ram in my 40breeder community tank and he/she is always out n about. The first to be at the front of the tank when i walk up, and beautiful! One of my Favs! Great vid as always Dan!

Everybody tends to go for the GBRs, but I think these guys and gals are a much better choice. They seem to be much healthier and longer lived. A great choice for a planted community tank. Thanks for doing a spot light of them. 👍💕👍

This video hits the nail on the head with these fish, nothing not to like about them. What's the big floating plant you got in there?

as someone that has owned both german and bolivian rams GET BOLIVIAN RAMS. My tank got ick and my german blue got sick while the bolivian did not. Bolivian rams are much easier to keep more hardy and have a better personality. mine will follow my finger when I move it. Also my german blue has killed a shrimp and white cloud minnow he did this because I added them after and he got curious and playfully poked them but they were to small so they died he has not since killed anything. also if you were wondering yes my german blue recovered from ich and is fine.

Beautiful fish😁 Do they do well with neon tetras and panda corydoras? I subbed!

My favorite Ram. Look so much prettier than GBR when they colour up in my opinion.

I want some

👍

Love this video, I have 8 Bolivian Rams in a 65g tank they are nearly fully grown but no body seems too fancy anybody 😢 no pairs at all, they have sand, live plants, almond leaves plus bog wood o feed them a really good variety of food plus I harvest my own bbs BUT nothing I know I have both sexes I want too put more fish in the tank because they only use the bottom , I love bottom dwellers and mid to top swimmers but I'm not too keen on tetras have you any suggestions? 7.6 is the lowest I can get my ph and I don't want to use chemicals too lower it but If I have too I will can you advise me on that. Thank so much. ❤

I got my GoPro for Christmas last year and love it. Just now brave enough to stuff it underwater. That’s a strange feeling, dunking a camera in water on purpose. Great video. One question, hard or soft water? I don’t think you said? Maybe it doesn’t matter?

Beautiful fish! I've never kept one since sources I read always say that they are very territorial and aggressive toward other fish. But maybe a larger group is an answer to that? As always great, informative content! Thanks!

My red eye tetras are psychotic at feeding time. Like a pack of wild pirahnas

Hi. I have set up a 12 gallon tank to house a breeding pair of lemon blue eyed plecoes. I know people will say the tank is too small but for now they are loving it. I would like to know if it would be ok to introduce a Bolivian Ram as a centerpiece fish. On seeing your video I think they would co habit with the plecs. Should I add just one or can I stretch it to a couple. Many thanks in advance. Happy New Year to all. Billy

I had 4 in a 60 with neons and guppies. They started getting aggressive, just like any other cichlid. (The compatibility struggle, makes me just want to get a single kind of fish. Maybe just try one Idk)

I've kept two of them a few years ago and they were really hardy. I got lucky because the fish shop misidentified them as something else and charged me cheaply, and there were not many of them in the store. They should be more common in the trade given their hardiness, but ironically they are very difficult to come by in my city - I could scour the whole street and not see a single specimen. Perhaps GBRs make greater money and fish farms only breed GBRs.

Great informative video on these guys! Thank you! I’ve been eyeing this fish for a centerpiece for my planted 29 with Corys, amanos, otos and nerites. I know you said they do best in groups. Do you think one would still thrive being the only one with other tank mates? And if so, do you think I’d need to worry about the amanos and nerites being this is a cichlid and larger than the rest of the tank inhabitants?

Do you think I could keep a pair of them in a 20 gallon high with a betta?

They’re beautiful! Do these Rams get along with angelfish, a school of Serpae tetras, black neon tetras. I also have Pygmy Cories.

How many Bolivian rams would you put in a 20 long and does it matter if it's a multi generational tank v. unralated group? I haven't got space to develop MTS so don't want hundreds of them?

Hi there i like you video but i have a question.I have one Bolivian ram in my tank but i have gravel substrates you think they can still eat with my gravel substrate?

I have one and hes really not shy but i do have to hand feed him because i have two angelfish and there aggresive dureing feeding time so there tryin to grab them out of my hand

Can you keep them wit bettas?? I’m new to the hobby

Would they be okay with guppies in a 20 gallon long?

Will they pick through a monte carlo carpet? about 60-70% of my tank is carpet plant while the rest is sand

What's that plant on the top of the aquarium I need one, it was so cool, if anyone knows please tell me!!

Do you think that i can put 6 rams together with 5 tiger barbs? thank you, i realy like your channel.

Will these help control my molly over population?

what kind of spirulina flakes do you suggest?

I’m wondering if it’s possible to keep a single one in a 29 gallon with some other community friendly fish

I have a 40 gal breeder i have to apistograms male,mfemale . Coud i keep 2 ,4 rams wìth them other community fish

Great species spotlight! Thank you! Do you know how they are with cherry shrimp? Can they co-exist? I’ve heard varying reports of yes and no.

Are there any other color variants of the Bolivian rams? I thought I saw red somewhere

Do the females get the pink belly like the germans do?

how big is ur tanl\?

Are you the same Dan that does Dan's course's for Cisco?

Do you know how they do with apistos and kribs? They are great

what is the best nitrate and nitrite level for these guys

Sorry if I missed it but did you talk about water perameters? Are they hard water fish? High PH?

Ph 68 to 70 Temp 78 20g high Tank age about 1 month from setup Current stock 3 albino cory, 1 powder blue dwarf g, 3 guppies Gravel substrate Would i be able to keep a pair of b rams in the tank? I may remove the guppies since they dont really like this ph from what ive heard.

Sorry so late, I have 6 in my 20L. 1 has started to be too much dominant. Only 3 other rome out to feed. And he pushes them around? WTF?????

No one sells them aròund here. 💞👀

Do you have any Bolivian Ruby Crown Rams?

Can i keep these guys in a tank with panda cories, neon tetras and 3gouramis?

Can I keep 1 male with 2 females in a 60x15x18 tank

Send me 2

NOT ENTIRELY TRUE, Dan! I have had some Bolivians that weren't peaceful to others!
