About this product

The German Gold Ramirezi is a selectively bred xanthic colour form of the German Blue Ram. Instead of the electric-blue spangling over bronze, it carries an overall gold to orange body with paler spangling, a red eye and gold fins.

It keeps the peaceful, plant-loving nature of the species and the same warm, soft-water requirements, so it suits an established planted community aquarium alongside small tetras and similarly gentle tankmates.

Note: the photograph is a representative image of the colour form. Individual fish vary in colouration and pattern.

Full care requirements are in the Care Guide tab.

DietOmnivorous — quality micro-pellets, flakes and frozen foods like bloodworm, brine shrimp and daphnia. Feed small meals 2-3 times daily.
CompatibilityPeaceful dwarf cichlid, well-suited to planted community tanks with small tetras, rasboras, Corydoras and dwarf shrimp. Keep as a pair; males can be territorial when breeding.
SetupSoft, slightly acidic water with plants, driftwood and caves. Gentle filtration with low flow and a stable heater. Dense planting with open areas suits them.
Care LevelSensitive to water quality and temperature swings — weekly 20-25% partial water changes and a reliable heater are essential. Quarantine new fish and feed small, high-quality meals.
Scientific NameMikrogeophagus ramirezi
TemperamentPeaceful but shy dwarf cichlid. May nip the fins of slow-moving, long-finned tankmates, so keep away from bettas and angelfish.
Max Size5-7 cm (2-2.75 in)
Lifespan5-8 years in captivity when water conditions stay stable
GroupingForms a pair. Keep a single pair, or a group of 6 or more so one male establishes a dominant pair. Do not keep two males on their own.
AvoidBoisterous or long-finned tankmates such as bettas, angelfish and tiger barbs, which will bully a slow-moving dwarf cichlid.
PlantsDense planting, driftwood, leaf litter and small caves. Needs plenty of cover to feel secure.
DimorphismMales show a larger, more distinct black humeral spot and a stronger red eye; females are smaller and paler with a less defined spot.
BreedingCave-spawning pair. Needs soft, warm, acidic water and a sheltered cave; both parents are dedicated brooders.
