The Bolivian Ram is a peaceful and beautifully colored dwarf cichlid ideal for community aquariums. Native to slow-moving rivers in Bolivia and Brazil, it features subtle gold and grey tones with vibrant red and blue highlights, especially in its fins and eyes. Unlike many cichlids, Bolivian Rams are non-aggressive and thrive in groups or pairs, making them a favorite for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Their graceful swimming and engaging behavior add charm and liveliness to planted tanks.
