Bring dazzling color and gentle charm to your aquarium with the Electric Blue Ramirezi, a selectively bred variety of the popular German Blue Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi).

This compact, peaceful cichlid is cherished for its iridescent electric blue body, graceful movements, and calm temperament, making it a top choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

🌿 Ideal Habitat

The Electric Blue Ram thrives in warm, slightly acidic water with soft substrate and plenty of hiding spots such as plants, driftwood, and rocks. It prefers a well-maintained, stable environment—sudden fluctuations in temperature or pH should be avoided.

🍽️ Feeding

This species is an omnivore. Feed a balanced diet of high-quality flakes or micro-pellets, supplemented with frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia to maintain color and vitality.

👨‍👩‍👧 Behavior & Compatibility

Despite being a cichlid, the Electric Blue Ramirezi is remarkably peaceful. It coexists well with small community fish such as neon tetras, rasboras, guppies, and corydoras catfish. During breeding, pairs may become territorial, so provide ample space and visual barriers.
