aaronfeeney, I was thinking of gettin some blue rams with my electic blue jack..... they look so small, really you can even see there personality??? can you be more specific??? like are they aggressive?? little wars in the tank, or jelous???
I forgot to mention, I love the midas cichlid... because of aaronfeeney comment on personality.... I guess I love the look of the electric blue dempsy, but the personality of a midas..... there like having a dog in the house.... when I used to get home, it would be all excited in the tank.... "feed me, feed me!" lol....

rams are too small for dempsy
Pretty peaceful, but they both seem very curious when someone is watching them, they watch back.. these 2 seem to be a bit territorial with each other, and not real concerned with most of my other community fish. All the dempsy's I've had , were bad asses and got pretty big(compared to rams) I had a 2" $5 dempsy , kick the shit outta 2 3" $10 oscars killed everything his size,,, had to put him in a tank with larger fish, for the other fishes safty.
I'll learn more when these guys move into my 37 gal ,,,hopefully with a few female rams,,and lots more plants.
My avatar pic is a blue ram that just lit up from the camera flash.

I like the little guys/gals; Apisto trifasciata(sp) & Taeniacara candidi, I have one male and two females (TC's), they tend to snack on my RCS but the pop is holding steady despite the predation. The baby BN's have to run the Candidi gauntlet too but there are lots of places to hide in my tank and I have a growing pop which I'll need to thin sometime soon.
I don't think I have the pH low enough to successful get them to breed although they constant display courting behavior.
I hesitate to mention my Darwinian set up as some of you may think this cruel.(don't scroll down if you don't want to see the food chain at work. female candidi with a albino pleco)

Thanks, got these at the Roosevelt store, they look pretty drab there but brighten up as they mature.
I anthropomorphise(sp) but doesn't she look a little guilty with her mouth full of pleco!? ...."dang, I hope he doesn't see eating this!"
