The Golden Eye Dwarf Cichlid

The Golden eye dwarf cichlid is a usually paired in calm inmates such as ram, angelfish, and tetra (but beware on angelfishes for they are sometimes territorial usually when they have established in the aquarium for a long time, I had observed this angelfish trait) I have raised this fish once but I gave up on them for similar to ram, this fishe's fry are also quite hard to raise (as I thought once). But further experienced in raising them is quite a challenge as well as success when you see them spawn and lay eggs. I had a cheap way to raise the fry at its full maturity but I wont tell them. hehe.

The Mikrogeophagus ramirezi Also known as RAM is a softwater tropical fish which likes dense planting and calm inmates in the tank. I have raised ram for the past years and I found it difficult to easy. Water quality is very important, therefore it is very applicable to put dense planting on the sides of the tank. I have tried this set up and I had breed ram for some time until I gave up on breeding on them. It needs a lot of work and time to raise their fry. I usually use the yellow part of a hard boiled egg to feed the fry, for it is very small for them to eat commercialized foods. Ram is a a family of cichlids which includes tilapia(sunfish) , angelfish and oscars.
