Types of Ramirezies

balloon ramie (Boehmeria nivea var. nipononivea)

Balloon Ramirezii is a variety that was created by breeding regular Ramirezii in Germany and Holland. They are called Dutch rams or German rams, depending on the country where they were raised. They are smaller in size, have a rounder abdomen, and a plumper body shape than the normal Ramirezii, making them a popular breed. There are also different colors, such as the "Cobalt Blue Balloon Ramirezii," which has a strong blue color and becomes even more beautiful when exposed to light, and the "Golden Balloon Ramirezii," which has a white base with light gold tints.

Papilio chromis Ramirezii (species of millipede)

Papilio chromis ramirezi is found in Colombia and Venezuela in South America, and is said to be the most beautiful of all dwarf cichlids. When sold at specialty stores, many of them do not have good coloration, but if kept in a slightly acidic aquarium for more than half a year, their body color changes from a bright orange base with black lines appearing from the back to the abdomen, becoming very beautiful. Many people keep Papilio chromis Ramirezii to enjoy this change. Among the Papiliochromis lamirellii, Papiliochromis lamirellii are often sold at relatively low prices and are easy to keep, making them a good choice for those who want to try their hand at breeding.

Japan Ramirezia

As the name suggests, this breed was bred in Japan from the German Ramirezii. Compared to the German Ramirezii, the blue coloration on the head is brighter and the overall body color is brighter, making it a beautiful breed. Among the Ramirezii, the price is often high because of its small distribution volume and the few specialty stores that sell them.

brilliant lamiragee

The Brilliant Ramirezii has a body color that is a combination of the Cobalt Blue Ramirezii, which has a strong blue color, and the Ramirezii, which has a strong yellow or red color. This makes it a species where the balance of yellow, red, and blue is important. Individuals with a good balance of each color are very beautiful and stunning.

German Ramillage

The German Ramirezii is a species bred and cultivated in Germany. It is characterized by its beautiful red and yellow coloration. Therefore, they are very popular as a species that has inherited the original color of the Ramirezii. The dorsal fins of many individuals are large, so they are tall and have a greater impact on many people than their silhouette would suggest. The German Ramirezii also has other names such as "German Ram" and "German Ramirezii.

Blue Diamond Ramirezii


The Blue Diamond Ramirezii is a species whose body color is mostly bright blue. Therefore, when the aquarium is set up with only Blue Diamond Ramirezii, it becomes a very beautiful blue aquarium, and is also useful for adjusting the overall coloration of the aquarium.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers

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.
