Hello all,
So while I would never have bought this fish myself, we have been trusted with its wellbeing while its owners are in the States for a few months.
So a Mikrogeophagus ramirezi - Ram Chiclid - in weird colouring... It is a weird fish, looks like an alien and is a very unnatural fish to see in the tank, but we've come to like it
It is small, timid, but likes to hover in the corners, surveying the tank and waiting for a shrimp to pass by.
Our goby - Hypseleotris compressa - decided that the ram would be a suitable mating partner and tried to seduce him, not succesfully, but the pictures were fun as can be seen here.
An interesting fish, but not one I would buy myself due to its 'unnatural' colours.
All the best,
Kasper

Great post! Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi is such a fascinating species to keep. I’ve found that using a fish tank top cover helps maintain the water temperature and keeps them safe from jumping out. It’s also great for reducing water evaporation. Thanks for sharing these insights—really helpful for improving the care of these beautiful fish!
