2 pairs of gold rams in my 20 gallon long?

[kindbud]

i currently have a 20 gallon long tank. it's heavily planted, and its current inhabitants are 5 dwarf corys (habrosus), 3 otocinclus, and a pair of killies (a. australe). can i put 2 pairs of gold rams in here? how about one pair? thanks in advance. btw, i have some flat rocks making a cave, as well as some driftwood that is covered with java moss that kind of makes a nice divider between the two halves of the tank. there are lots of nooks.

would just the 2 pairs of gold rams alone be too much for a 20 gallon (long)?

I don't know about putting rams in with killis..... I *think* I remember reading somewhere not to put them together, but I don't remember where, when or why I'll go see if I can find anything.......

OK, I can't find anything, so just ignore me, I don't know what I'm talking about

No I think you are right Parker.... I dont think putting rams and killies would be a good idea. But if thats wrong by all means someone correct me.

As far as two pairs in a 20 .... even heavily planted... you could try it, but I would be prepared to remove one pair. I had two pairs in my 55 gallon planted and my 'stronger' pair just kept attacking the other two. To the point where I had to separate them. The would actually seek them out. Here I was thinking its a 55!!! Plenty of space!! Apparantly not! lol (Thats if you had someplace to move your killies tho.)
