[vail94]

I am trying to put a breeding presentaion together for my local society meeting on Blue Rams. I know that rams have been catagorized a couple of different ways what are some of your opinions on the spieces offical name?

Do you mean latin name? That's Mikrogeophagus ramirezi.

 

[vail94]

Yes the latin name please. What about Apistogramma Ramirezi?

Yes the latin name please. What about Apistogramma Ramirezi?

This name is wrong. Only valid name at this moment is Mikrogeophagus ramirezi.

When they were discovered, they were referred to as 'apistogramma' ramerizi for want of a better name. Later it was a crap-shoot between Kullander's offering= papiliochromis & mikrogeophagus.. It was finally determined that mikrogeophagus was the proper nomen to use..
