German Blue Rams are my favorite. When I first saw one I knew I had to have one. So much color, and visual attitude.


Balloon German Blue Ram

I haven't yet decided what my favorite school fish would be. I always imagined myself having a large number of "nano Fish" in a big aquarium.

German blue rams were once my favorite fish, but they are still probably still up there in my fish to get list. I also enjoy corydoras, discus, and often sometimes oddballs. I am starting to get interested in keeping plecos too.

For me it depends entirely on the aquascape.

I like chocolate gouramis at the moment.

From my biotope...

I like Many of the Apistos and The GBR's.
Nano fish, I like the Phoenix Rasbora
Schooling, hard to beat Rummynose IMO
I love hatchet fish but can't keep them in open top tanks

Very sensitive things apparently. That's why it's a biotope.
