| Rams are dwarf cichlids, They have an orange face, a red/yellow body and a blue neon tail. They require soft water with a low pH. They are a great choice for a community aquarium because they are a peaceful species. Rams also like a well planted tank with open areas to swim in, caves in which they can hide. | |

Both parents with share the rearing of the fry. They have also been known to take their fry into their months to protect them, just like mouth brooders. | |
