Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a sand bottom, plants, driftwood and flat stones or caves for spawning. Bolivian rams tolerate cooler and harder water than blue rams.

Feeding: Feed a quality small cichlid pellet or flake once or twice a day. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tankmates: Bolivian rams do well with peaceful community fish like tetras, rasboras, barbs, corydoras and other peaceful dwarf cichlids. They may eat small shrimp.

Good to know: Bolivian rams are hardier and more forgiving than blue rams, making them a great first dwarf cichlid.
