Ram Electric Blue (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi)

Description

The electric blue ram, a stunning colour morph of the common ram cichlid (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi), has quickly become a popular addition to the aquarium hobby since its development in 2009. However, it can be slightly more challenging to care for than its wild-type counterpart. A seasoned cichlid enthusiast shares insights on what it takes to successfully maintain this vibrant fish.

Though still less commonly found in the market compared to other ram varieties, electric blue rams can be more expensive. Be cautious when purchasing them at "bargain" prices, as they may have been treated with hormones— a practice that can weaken the fish and shorten its lifespan. It's always best to buy from a trusted and reputable dealer or breeder to ensure you're getting a healthy specimen.
