adding Bolivian ram to my 46g bowfront tank

23 11:04:08

Question
Hi
i have a 46g tank with a fuval 405 and a whisper 60, the temp is 80*F and the plant is pretty well planted (live plants). I have two angelfish (pair m/f), two boesmani rainbow, 1 Australian rainbow, 1 turquoise rainbow and 1 new guinea rainbow. I was thinking about adding one male Bolivian ram to my tank, is that a good idea? Can i add one or two more rainbow after to complete my tank?
P.S. my tank have been running for about 8 months or so.
thank you

Answer
Hi Bob,
 It is impossible to say for sure, but it sounds like there is a good chance you would be successful, particularly given that you have a lot of live plants.
