Fish Ideas

Yeah but when i as researching rams they were considered great for begginers on every site i googled. Its a mater of opion.

yup and if you base everything on what you read it's an uneducated opinion......at least there is experience behind my words...i know for a fact that rams are sensitive from my experiences and everyone else on this forum...they cannot handling cycling at ALL...they do not like rapid changes in temperature at ALL...and they won't hesitate to go ghostly white and refuse to eat if they don't like the water parameters....all of these reasons make them NOT a beginner fish...danios are an ideal beginner fish - they are hardy, can handle cycling, don't care too much about temperature, aren't picky eaters, etc - to compare rams to this is just ridiculous...

i just don't understand why it is so hard for you to listen to what other people have to say on this forum and to come up with your OWN opinions rather than relying solely on those things you READ, wwestar...we all know that ANYONE can write whatever they want on the internet and to say that rams are "great" for beginners, i dont just don't buy...there are much better choices out there...

from what i read on google a goldfish can be kept in a one gallon bowl

You know why don't you worry about your own posts and if you dont like what i posted ignore it. I think a ram is a great fish for a begginer and thats my opinion! You don't have to follow after every post i do to comment it.

first off, this isn't your thread...second off, i posted in this thread before you said a word...third off, i'm not going to let someone take bad advice....fourth of all i am not "following" you...there is this button called "view new posts" which is what i use....i'm glad you "think" rams are great beginner fish without having kept them...you're wrong, so please refrain from offering such advice

I like the idea of a cichlid tank also. I have a 33 gallon tank I've just began. I thought of cichlids but wanted to have more of a variety than the cichlid tank would offer. Not an exotic fish but very colorful are coral blue or sunset dwarf gouramis. I have a male of each color. Make sure your tank has a couple of different hiding places because they need there own little safe place.
