German Blue Ram
Mikrogeophagus ramirezi
German blue rams inhabit warm, slow-moving streams, pools, and flooded margins of the Orinoco basin. They sift sand and peck among leaf litter for small invertebrates, while also eating algae and detritus. Breeding pairs become notably territorial around eggs and young, using fin displays and short charges to drive away intruders.
