En savoir plus
The Ramirezi - Mikrogeophagus ramirezi is a small colorful cichlid from South America, well-known in aquariums. Its body is mostly bluish, with some shades of yellow or orange around the head. Adopting a diurnal lifestyle, it commonly lives in groups or pairs, close to the surface. Its shy behavior gives way to a territorial instinct once the breeding period arrives. However, several professionals in the field have confirmed that breeding this species in an aquarium remains very difficult to achieve successfully.
Raising this specimen requires an 80 L aquarium, a temperature between 23° and 30°, and a pH of 6 to 6.8. The sensitivity to diseases and environmental changes of the Mikrogeophagus ramirezi makes it a fish reserved for experienced aquarists. Prior documentation is crucial to keep this animal in very good health.
