Australian bred Blue Rams (Pair SMALL)

Scientific name: Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi 

Origin :The majority of literature suggests that this species is restricted to the Venezuelan and Colombian llanos of the Río Orinoco drainage

The Llanos is a vast, highly biodiverse system of tropical savannah grasslands, seasonally-flooded plains and forests covering an area measuring almost 600,000 square kilometres in Venezuela and Colombia. There are well-defined annual weather patterns with distinct wet and dry seasons and year-round high temperatures.

Difficulty in keeping: Easy

Maximum size: 6-7cm Males 4-5 cm Females

Selling size: 3-4 cm and above

Temperature: 27 – 32 °C  (30°C preferred)

pH: 6-7.8 Our fish are bred and grown at a ph between 6.0 and 7.5

Diet: Primarily carnivorous and apparently feeds mostly on benthic invertebrates in nature. In the aquarium live and frozen foods such as Brine shrimp, Daphnia and Blackworms should be offered regularly although most specimens will also learn to accept dried alternatives with pelleted products generally preferred to flake.
