Ram type

[Blademan]

Hi I have purchased 3 male and 3 female of these Rams, I am not sure if these are Bolivian or German, how many would be suitable to put in with with my Discus in 80g tank, after they have been through QT

Also purchased this pleco, to help with Algea forming on plant leaves, again not sure if the type or suitability.

Those are German Blue rams. You could put them all depending on how many other fish you have in there. When they get to breeding they can be a bit agressive with each other if there is not enough room, but an 80 gallon is pretty big.

Not sure on that pleco. It doesn't even look like a pleco to me, but some other kind of cat fish.

i think it is a pleco, but it is as hardly moved in two days !!!
The rams are all very small less than an inch so must be pretty young, some of the fins are a bit raggy but they do have nice colours

They also appear to be the balloon type as well.

Not a plecco but rather some type of algea eater?

Just another birth defect bred in them to catch the eye.Such as scoliosis or spina bifida.
