Bolivian Ram in Discus Tanks

[cityguy]

Have anyone tried keeping Bolivian Ram's in Discus tanks as mates ? I am seeking some idea, as they are a new addition to the LFS and looks very attractive.

You should have no problems, I have been reading about Rams in general and they are all very well suited with discus.
I used to have a couple of German rams, they were beautiful but very sensative. You should have one male to two or three females though.

yeap cityguy, they go well in the discus tanks. As long as they have their own space they are fine. With Bolivians I would only have 1 male 1 female, they are territorial. They only spawn when the female feels like it - not that often, headache after headache {snigger snigger}
as Vanessa said Blue rams are good tank mates s well.

and lots of good hiding places for the female!

Thanks Vanessa and Waitaki, appreciate your help.

I have both German Blue and Bolivian Rams with my discus.

I've kept both Bolivians and Blues before and they are very interesting to watch. It can be hard to tell between male and female if you're looking at juvies, I bought 2 males of both species (bad luck!) and they did quibble, but that shouldn't be a problem providing you allow enough space and hide outs for them. Enjoy your fish!
