The Bolivian Ram, scientifically known as Mikrogeophagus Altispinosus, is a small, colourful cichlid native to the slow-moving rivers and lakes of Bolivia and Brazil. Known for their striking appearance and relatively peaceful demeanour compared to other cichlids, Bolivian Rams are a popular choice for community aquariums. Their vibrant colours, inquisitive nature, and manageable care requirements make them a favourite among both novice and experienced aquarists.
