This infor,ation has come from a ram breeder off of Alberta Aquatica. A site donated to the freshwater hobby. You think you know your guppies you are wrong also. Guppies come from areas where the freshwater rivers meet with the ocean therefore they are a slightly brachish water fish. you are ven keeping them in the wrong enviroment if you have some. Obviously it cannot be too bad of water quality for them seeing that they are breeding and if somethinf was wrong they would stop.
The Ram breeder told me too use the tap water for the elements in it it will help the rams grow. To lower pH i am using discus buffer this is helping and to soften the water i am using water pillows.
What books did u get htis information from?
As for the tank this is my plan. I will plant the tank as a community tank then as the rams choose their spawning site i will block from tat site over off leaving the rams with plants, rocks, driftwood. They will be the only fish in their section. The other section will be angelfish and tetras.
As for the Angels I have done this many of times. If you raise the the angels up with the neons i find the angelfish are okay with them. But if you add the angels then grow them to be a fair size adding the neons after then the angels will eat your neon tetras. Books io have been reading about breeding rams all of them say to add small tetras such as neons as ditherfish. This is my plan also is to in the end have only fish from the same area. The fighter will go into his own 5 gallon tank and the guppies are leaving.
