Bolivian Ram Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Bolivian Ram in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 20 gallons (75 liters) for a pair
• Compatibility: Excellent community fish, compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized South American cichlids, tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and other non-aggressive species. Avoid fin-nippers or overly boisterous tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots (caves, driftwood, rocks) and open swimming areas. A fine sand substrate is preferred as they enjoy sifting through it. Good water quality with regular partial water changes is crucial. They are sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters.
