Compatibility
Corydoras × Ram Compatibility
Compatibility calculated based on predation risk, behaviour profile, and water-parameter overlap.
Corydoras and Ram can live together in a well-planted community tank, but territorial behaviour should be monitored and water-parameter overlap should be checked carefully.

Envrionmental Factors
Temperature overlap
Corydoras: 22.0–25.0 °C
Ram: 26.0–30.0 °C
No shared operating range is present between the recorded values.
pH overlap
Corydoras: 6.0–7.0
Ram: 5.5–7.0
Shared window: 6.0–7.0.
Hardness overlap
Corydoras: Soft → Hard
Ram: Very soft → Soft
Shared hardness bands: 1 (overlap ratio 50%).
Flow match
Corydoras: Medium
Ram: Low
Flow preferences do not conflict directly (no low-vs-high clash).
Behavioural Factors
Predation risk (size ratio)
Adult size ratio: 1.00x
Adult size gap is under 2.0x, which is usually a safer ratio.
Behaviour risk
- - Ram: Territorial.
- - At least one species can be pushy or fin-nippy; monitor closely.
- - Behaviour may vary by tank size and stocking; have a backup plan.
