First of all, Ramirezii have a mild temperament, which is rare among cichlids. Therefore, if the breed with which they are mixed is territorial or aggressive, the Ramirezii may be beaten up, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress.However, lamiresi may become more aggressive during the breeding season and chase other tropical fish around, so care may be required when keeping them in pairs. Also, some cichlids may fight with other cichlids, so be careful when mixing them with cichlids.

Points about spawning

Many people who keep lamiregid fishes want to breed them. In keeping cichlids, it is often recognized as one of the pleasures to observe a series of breeding behaviors, such as courtship of males, spawning and rearing of females, and the process of growth from fry to adults. First, let us discuss the differences between male and female Ramirezii. The main body color of male Ramirezii is red or yellow, including the dorsal fin. (The body color of males differs depending on the species.) In comparison, females are larger than males, and their abdomen turns pinkish, and a 1mm egg-producing tube (egg laying tube) emerges from the back of the ventral fins.It is recommended to enjoy this difference in body coloration. The breeding method of Ramirezii is to lay their eggs in shady places such as under trees or stones, where they are difficult to find. Therefore, when breeding Ramirezii, it is important to create a good environment for them to lay their eggs, such as driftwood or commercially available egg-laying shelters. Outside of the breeding season, they may use these places as hiding places, so there is no harm in including them.
