*pre-order* Bolivian Ram (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus)
Ready Nov 1st!
Add color and personality to your freshwater aquarium with the Bolivian Ram! These charming dwarf cichlids develop warm golden coloration, distinctive black markings, and red accents along their fins as they mature.
Bolivian Rams enjoy exploring the lower levels of the aquarium and sifting through sand. Provide open sandy areas, plants, driftwood, and sheltered resting spots. Generally peaceful, they can become territorial during breeding.
