Bolivian Ram
Rams are a peaceful, but delicate dwarf cichlid species that are recommended for experienced aquarists. They are best maintained as a male-female pair in a peaceful community setting with lots of plants and caves. They must only be kept in softwater aquaria, and should not be housed with any aggressive species which may bully them.
