    Thumbs up South American Cichlids

    I'm looking to add some other species of S.A. cichlids that would get along with my angels I have 4- 3-3.5" angels, 3 albino BN plecoes in the 72 gallon Bow front at present, not too worried about the clown loaches or cories being bothered.
    Any suggestions from anyone? Cheers Laurie

    I'd suggest Bolivian rams. I've had a group for over a year now and I love them! Granted, they're not as colourful as the GBRs, but they are easier to care for than the (easier for both pH and temp) and have the same great personality. Very entertaining little guys.

    Agreed on the rams. They do well with angels, and have a ton of personality.
