Would one ram be alright by itself? Mind you, I'll have other fish in there with them. I was considering three bumble bee gobies (they grown to about 1-1.5 inches), a dwarf puffer, and a molly. I'm just worried about over-crowding. I know ideally I should just have a pair in a 10 gallon by themselves, but if possible, I'd like to have a few more in there with them.

P.S. All you cichlid people are so friendly and helpful!

no puffer, it isn't that they are more aggressive it is that their bite is made worse by their beak. and the molly might get killed.

I think its must refer to all us cichlid keepers. I started with 2 tanks, 1 for a community tank of docile tropicals and the 2nd for cichlids.
I have 12 tanks now, and if I had room I'd have 12 more!
(Good thing I don't have anymore room! My husband would want to kill me! )
