Ram Cichlid German Blue Ramirezi (3-4 Cms) | Pair

The German Blue Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) is one of the most colorful and popular dwarf cichlids in the aquarium hobby. Known for its stunning iridescent blue body, this species displays a vibrant combination of electric blues, deep yellows, and reds. Its body shimmers with blue and green speckles, while its dorsal fin often has a black spot, and its eyes are rimmed in bright red, making it a striking addition to any tank.

Growing to about 2-3 inches, the German Blue Ram is a peaceful and social species that thrives in community tanks with other non-aggressive fish. It prefers warm water temperatures of 78-85°F and slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. A well-planted aquarium with soft substrate and plenty of hiding spots will mimic its natural habitat and keep the fish comfortable.

This species is omnivorous, enjoying a diet that includes high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp. While generally peaceful, the German Blue Ram may show some territorial behavior during breeding, but overall, it is a gentle fish with a captivating personality. Its brilliant colors and active nature make it a favorite for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
