Yeah I just got one at the time, but I plan on getting at least one more. I have it in a 20 gallon, with some fake plants and a nice size piece of fake drift wood. I have Rasboras and lamp-eye killies as "dither" fish. I have a few panda cories too. The Ram seems happy in the set up because his color is gorgeous, and he is eating well. I read it can be tricky to get thses guy to eat at first, but he took flake food from day one (I still mix in frozen brine shrimp and blood worms occasionally)

@bdon: you couldn't put those in a 20g. Too small.

I suspect those fish bdon sugest would most likely eat the other fish, if not at least terrorise them even if placed in a larger tank.
The species are just too large.
Actually, I would never combine an african cichlid with an american one. I once kept a small juvenile Electric Blue Hap with a full grown male angelfish and it had killed it within a week.

Agreed. Africans in general are bigger and more aggressive than South American.
