Bolivian Ram Cichlids are such cool little fish! These guys have beautiful golden-brown bodies, flashes of blue in their fins, and touches of red that really stand out once they settle into an aquarium. If you're looking for a peaceful cichlid with a ton of personality, Bolivian Rams are definitely worth checking out!
Unlike some of the more aggressive cichlids in the hobby, Bolivian Rams are relatively peaceful and make a great addition to established community aquariums. They spend a lot of time exploring the bottom of the tank, sifting through sand, and looking for little snacks. They're honestly so fun to watch because they always seem to be investigating something!
Bolivian Rams typically reach around 3 inches and can live 4-6 years with proper care. They appreciate a planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots, smooth sand, and peaceful tank mates. While they're generally easygoing, they can become territorial when breeding, which is something to keep in mind if you're planning a community tank.
Like other ram cichlids, Bolivian Rams do best in stable, established aquariums. We recommend keeping them in warm, clean water with plenty of cover and open areas along the bottom where they can naturally explore.
Bolivian Ram Cichlids are omnivores and do best with a varied diet. These guys love their protein-rich foods, but it's important to offer a good mix to keep them healthy!
We feed our Bolivian Rams a combination of frozen and live foods, including daphnia, baby brine shrimp, cyclops, bloodworms, and live blackworms. We also supplement their diet with high-quality NorthFin fish foods.
Since Bolivian Rams spend so much time exploring the bottom of the aquarium, we recommend making sure food reaches them instead of letting faster fish eat everything first.
I just got two bolivan rams and at first they were glass surfacing alot due to the new environment but now they are more content and love swimming around, I put them in the same tank and they are loving it. Very cute and they've gotten so much bigger since I've received them and it's only been a few days! Very healthy fish.
They showed up rather cold, thought they weren’t going to make it. Delivery was about 5 hours later than anticipated but by the next day they perked up and are doing great! Very curious friendly little guys.
Fish arrived in excellent condition and are absolutely lovely. As a bonus I seem to have gotten two girls so now I have an even ratio in my tank! Will definitely be getting more fish from here in the future
I purchased 2 and they are doing just fine. Like the German Blue Ram better, more color.
She's a beauty! I received my Bolivian Ram in good health. She was still and quiet when I placed her in my aquarium but it didn't take long for her to become adjusted. She swims near me whenever I sit by the tank. I also purchased Cherry Barbs from Flip Aquatics several weeks prior, and they are all doing wonderfully! I wouldn't shop with any other company.
Healthy with lots of personality -love
I recently received a shipment of these beautiful Rams. Bolivian Rams are hard to find where I live so I decided to order online. Flip Aquatics was recommended by a family member and they delivered with great prices and shipping. Fish were gorgeous happy and healthy. Highly recommended.
I ordered and received two bolivian rams in October. They both arrived alive and healthy, and were packaged perfectly. I was hoping to receive a male/female pair and received two males, but that is absolutely not the fault of flip aquatics, since they sell these fish unsexed. Unfortunately, the smaller male is getting bullied by the larger one, and I will likely need to rehome him, but he is still a beautiful and healthy little fish. Very pleased with my purchase!
Fish arrived healthy and in good shape. I added the to my aquarium and they immediately acted as if they hadn’t just traveled across the country in box. I was really impressed with my first order.
Love these guys - they are currently thriving!
Everything i ordered came in perfect as well as no death's to any fish!! Great job guys!!!
The Bolivian ram arrived in great condition and he is the perfect tank mate. He plays well with others and his little whiskers are adorable. I am very happy with this gentle fish.
The Bolivian ram I got came in healthy and acclimated to his new tank in no time. He is alway out and about. He is very chill and easy to feed and take care of. I've made three orders of live animals from Flip Aquatics with no issues at all.
