Common Name(s): German Blue, German Blue Ram (GBR), Ram, Butterfly cichlid, Dwarf cichlid. Ramirez's cichlid

Care Level: medium-difficult, mostly because it needs a well established tank

Size: 2 - 3 inches (5 - 7.5cm)

pH: 5.5 - 7.0

Temperature: 78-85°F (26-30°C) with 80-81°F (27-28°C) being the most acceptable. At these temperatures they will settle in better, be less susceptible to diseases and upon breeding will result in less fry being lost.

Water Hardness: Soft-medium hard

Origin / Habitat: The rivers of Columbia and Venezuela

Lifespan: 3 years or longer

Temperament / Behavior: Peaceful, but when breeding, the male guards the eggs and can and will be very aggressive. If there are 2 males in a tank smaller then 30 gallons and without plenty of hiding places, they will show territorial disputes between them.

Blue Ram Cichlid Tank Mates: Many except for large fish big enough to eat them or other male dwarf cichlids

Breeding / Mating / Reproduction: The eggs are laid on a pre-cleaned area or a depression they made in the substratum. The female can lay up to 200 eggs and the eggs hatch about 4 days later. After the first spawn, you can almost guarantee a spawn every month.

Diet: Omnivorous, will accept a wide range of foods, but frozen/live foods preferred.

Tank Size: A minimum of 20 gallons for each pair

Gender: Sexing Ram Cichlids

Mari berkenalan dengannya:

Scientific Name : Puntius tetrazona

Common Names : Sumatra Barb, Green and Albino, Part belt Barb

Care Level : Easy

Size : 3 inches (8 cm)

pH : 6 - 7.5

Temperature : 70°F - 78°F (21°C - 26°C)

Water Hardness : 5° to 15° dH

Origin / Habitat : Indonesia, Sumatra, Borneo

Lifespan : 5 years

Temperament / Behavior : They can be semi-aggressive. They do best when kept in a school of 6 or more. Getting only of couple of them will surely bring out their fin nipping behavior.

Tiger Barb Breeding : Breeding them can be somewhat difficult. Barbs are egg layers and they will eat the eggs. Provide plenty of broad leaf plants for them to scatter their eggs on. Separate the adults from the eggs.

Tiger Barb Tank Size : 20 gallon or larger.

Tiger Barb Tank Mates : Avoid keeping them with tropical fish that are long-finned and slow moving. They will most likely not do well with this fish.

Fish Disease : Freshwater Fish Disease - Diagnose, Symptoms and Treatment

Tiger Barb Food : Omnivore, will accept flake, freeze-dried and especially live foods such as brine shrimp.

Tank Region : Middle

Gender : The female is usually bigger and the male may develop a red coloration on its nose.
