so i was at the fish store the other day and i saw what looks like a dwarf cichlid. speically a ram. it was labeled as an orange ram? and it was orange all over and looked like a ram and i was wondering what it's called. any ideas? it was also pretty small and was put with other fish. like plecos and tetras i think.
