The Golden Ramirezi (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) is a color morph of the classic Ramirezi cichlid, with a golden or yellowish hue instead of the standard blue and purple coloration. These fish are relatively small, typically growing up to about 2 inches (5 cm) in length.
Here are some key points about the Golden Ramirezi:
Coloration: The golden variant displays beautiful golden-yellow hues on its body, especially around the head and fins. The fish also has some blue and red accents, giving it a striking appearance.
Care: They require soft, slightly acidic water, with temperatures around 78-85°F (25-29°C). Being a peaceful species, they do well in community tanks with other non-aggressive fish.
Diet: Omnivorous, but they thrive on high-quality, varied food, including flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods.
Breeding: These cichlids are known for their ability to breed in aquariums. They usually lay eggs on flat surfaces, and both parents care for the fry.
