The Bolivian Ram is a very beautiful, small, and peaceful cichlid. Though they are said to be a little more aggressive then their more popular Venezuelan cousin, the Ram Cichlid, these fish can be kept in a community tank with fish of a similar temperament. They are also easier to keep and breed than the Ram Cichlid. They are inexpensive yet give an aquarist the same joys as other dwarf cichlids, and they are much easier to acquire. They have a nice personality too. Associating their owner with food, they will be happy to beg for more whenever you approach the tank.
