The electric blue color is stunning. My ram has become a centerpiece in the tank. It’s active and shows off regularly. I keep it with peaceful community fish and it’s adapted well to the stable conditions.

Beautiful fish with a unique look. It’s not the most hardy, so I make sure my water parameters are stable. I feed it a mix of sinking pellets and frozen foods. It pairs well with another ram in a large tank.

The color is impressive, but it’s sensitive to nitrate levels. I had to test water regularly. It’s not for beginners, but once stable, it’s a charming addition to the tank.
