Black German Ram - Microgeophagus Ramirezi var

Black German Ram (Microgeophagus ramirezi var.) is a striking variant of the popular ram cichlid, selectively bred for its deep, velvety black body contrasted by intense blue iridescence. Unlike some lines, this variety does not have red eyes, and instead displays a shimmering, metallic sheen across its fins and body that truly sets it apart.

These peaceful dwarf cichlids thrive in a well-planted aquarium with soft, slightly acidic water. They do well in community setups with other small, non-aggressive fish and prefer warm temperatures and stable water parameters. Their small size, unique coloration, and gentle demeanor make them an excellent choice for aquascaped tanks.
