Golden Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) are beautiful and relatively easy-to-care-for dwarf cichlids that thrive in well-maintained freshwater tanks. Here's a quick care guide to ensure your Golden Rams flourish in your aquarium:

Tank Setup:

  • Tank Size: Minimum of 20 gallons (75 litres) for a pair, though larger tanks are better, especially if you plan on keeping other peaceful fish.
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 25-29°C – Golden Rams are warm water fish.
    • pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0-7.5).
    • Hardness: Soft to moderate (2-12 dGH).

Diet:

  • Golden Rams are omnivores and require a varied diet for optimal health.
  • Staple Food: High-quality pellets and flakes.
  • Treats: Live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.
  • Algae and Vegetation: Supplement with small amounts of blanched vegetables like spinach or zucchini.

Behavior & Tankmates:

  • Golden Rams are peaceful and make excellent community tank fish.
  • Tankmates: Choose other non-aggressive, peaceful species like tetras, rasboras, and peaceful cichlids. Avoid overly boisterous or aggressive fish that may stress them.
  • Territorial: Though peaceful, Golden Rams can become territorial during breeding. Ensure there are plenty of hiding places to reduce aggression.
