Pear gouramies and german blue rams

[Tyler777]

I'd been wanting to turn my 125 gallons tank into a tank with so many species. Right now I have 1 male pearl gouramie n 3 females, 2 dwarf gouramis, one big white molly one big pineapple swordtail female another seordtail female normal size, 2 serpae tetras 9 platties 4 rainbow Australian fish 5 yo yo loaches 4 corys and 1 siamese algae eater.
What I want is to have the corys n yo you with 7 or 8 pearl gouramies n at least 5 German blue rams , would that work ???

This is not gonna happen anytime soon bcause I need t re house the mollies, swordtails, serpae tetras n Australian rainbows. I just want pearl gouramies n blue rams besides the bottom feeders.

Could that work between the pearl gouramies n the German blue rams ?

The Rams like it very warm with many breeders saying 86F is ideal. Most corys would hate the heat except perhaps Hoplisoma sterbai and Hoplisoma oiapoquensis. That's the very top of the Pearl gourami temp range so they should tolerate it.

Yeah, cories are definitely going to want it cooler than that. Gouramis will be OK with that temp but it's pretty warm for them, too. IME they like it around 75-80. Otherwise, I think 7-8 pearl gouramis in a 125g would be about right. Get rid of the rams and it's a solid plan.

Those are pretty small groups for serpaes and rainbows; they're going to want more friends than that. I know you're planning on rehoming but just thought I'd throw that out there.
