Black Knight Ram Pair – 1” Minimum
Beautiful true Black Knight Rams shipped from San Diego. These subadults measure at least 1 inch head-to-tail.
Black Knight Rams are a striking dwarf cichlid with a moderate temperament, making them suitable for aquarists of all experience levels. They thrive both in species only tanks and peaceful tropical community setups.
