Gold Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) - 1-2" Unsexed. Remarks: Gold rams ( Mikrogeophagus ramirezi ) are a color variant of the popular German blue ram that has been bred to be an orange or gold color with no black markings. They still will get some blue scales, but they will be predominantly gold/orange. Rams have been popular in the hobby for decades for their brilliant colors and easy reproduction. They are small cichlids from South America that rarely grow larger than 2". Their name, "Small Eartheater," gives clues about their feeding mechanism: They sift sand through their mouths and gills, swallowing small bits of food. As such, sand is necessary for the long-term health of these fish. They require water warmer than most other fish, so it is advised to keep the water no colder than 80° F. There are many different methods hobbyists use t. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue. Please confirm current availability, size, price, delivery and collection terms with the seller.
