Apistogramma Ramirezi Stock Image

davLatin name: Apistogramma ramirezi, also called Papiliochromis ramirezi, modern correct Microgeophagus ramirezi.The Latin name for apistogram comes from the Greek words apisto (fickle) and gramme (line). This is due to the fact that the lateral line of apistograms, stretching horizontally from head to tail, has its own characteristics for each species: it can be barely noticeable, in the form of a dotted line or other pattern.The fish received the second prefix Ramirezi in honor of Manuel Vicente Ramirez, who collected specimens of this species and was their supplier.
