The Electric Blue Ram Cichlid (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi ) is known for its stunning blue color and small size, making it stand out among other cichlids. Adored by fish lovers, these little beauties have cute personalities and a peaceful demeanor.
The Electric Blue Ram Cichlid thrives in an aquarium with sandy substrate and plenty of hiding places like clay pots, driftwood, and rocks. It's great for planted tanks, but needs open space. It's generally peaceful with other fish, but can be territorial during spawning. Avoid small, delicate invertebrates, but larger ones may be okay in a big enough tank. Keep tankmates to a minimum for spawning.
Easy feeding for Electric Blue Ram Cichlid - just give them quality dry, frozen, or live meaty foods for vibrant health and color!
Photos are of a fully grown male during spawning-- yours will be younger, smaller, and not fully grown.
Multi- packs are a little too young to be sexed, so be sure to purchase a 6 pack or higher to be sure you’re getting both sexes for breeding.

Customer Reviews
These are some beautiful fish. Thanks glass grown! My fish arrived healthy and ready for their new home. They aquanted well with their new tankmates, and are thriving.
My order arrived in great condition but lost two of the rams they quickly refunded me the money for them and the one is doing great and the plants are terrific will buy again soon!
Order a 3 pack. Arrived quickly, happy and healthy. I'm always hesitant ordering livestock until i get a feel for the seller. My first order was only plants, and they were carefully packed and looked great. So this time i also ordered some electric blue rams. Arrived in great condition, carefully packaged. My only regret is not ordering a 6 pack.
