Gold Ram

The German Gold Ram is a beautiful color variation of Mikrogeophagus ramirezi. It is a social fish that will form pairs and often remain "faithful" to each other. German Gold Rams have a gold body with hints of pink, orange, and red.

The German Gold Ram requires a tank of 75L, minimum. The tank should have several dense plant groups and plenty of open swimming space. The German Gold Ram will also need a few caves in which to hide in and stones to spawn on. Being a peaceful fish, the German Gold Ram makes a wonderful addition to the community tank. However, if kept in an aquarium that lacks hiding places for this fish, they may become aggressive toward small tank mates. Rams are also mouth brooders (they carry their young in their mouths!)
