Electric Blue Ram Cichlid

✅ Size: 3 cm

✅ The Electric Blue Ram is a very colorful fish, will make your tank more atractive.

Care

The Electric Blue Ram is a tank-bred colour strain of the Ram. In the wild, Rams are known from the Colombian and Venezuelan Llanos of the Orinoco River drainage. The Llanos is a vast, periodically flooded tropical grassland plain with an astonishing biodiversity and its own well defined weather comprising dry and rainy seasons. Rams are a peaceful, but delicate dwarf cichlid species that are recommended for experienced aquarists. The home aquarium should contain soft, acidic water and be biologically mature before these fishes are added. Ideally there will be dark substrate and dense planting, with plenty of hiding places/territories amongst rocks, driftwood, upturned flower pots, coconut shells etc. Floating plant cover could be used to help diffuse the light. Peat filtration and the addition of dried Indian Almond Leaves (Terminalia catappa) would be beneficial to help create the favoured conditions. Filtration should be efficient, but water movement gentle, and frequent partial water changes should be carried out in order to keep nitrate at a minimum (essential for the successful keeping of this species). Rams are best maintained as a male-female pair in a peaceful community setting, and should not be housed with any aggressive species which may bully them. Small groups of Rams can be kept together, but you may find that certain fish pair off, and when breeding, they can become a little territorial towards others. Tankmates should be small and peaceful and good companions could include Corydoras catfish, hatchetfish, pencilfish, small tetras, and suckermouth catfish.

✅Feeding

Flake, micropellets, small frozen foods such as bloodworm, white mosquito larvae, vitamin-enriched brineshrimp and daphnia.

✅Breeding

To breed Electric Blue Rams, the aquarium water must be very soft (<5 dH) with a pH <7.0. The water temperature should be set at the high end of their preferred range. Females can lay up to 400 eggs (although 250 is a typical average sized brood), which both male and female will take turns in guarding and fanning with their pectoral fins. These eggs should hatch after 48-72 hours and the fry will become free-swimming after 5 days, at which stage they can be offered tiny foods such as infusoria and microworms, moving on to larger foodstuffs as they grow. The parent fish will herd the youngsters around the tank, protecting them from any potential predators. If you wish to ensure a high survival rate for your eggs/fry, it would be prudent to set up a dedicated breeding tank for this purpose.

 

✅ Tank set up:

The water parameters to best mimic the natural environment are as follows:

  • Temperature: 78-85°F
  • pH range: 6.0-7.5
  • Water hardness: 6-14 dGH
  • Moderate to subdued lighting
  • Slow to moderate water current

A mix of gravel and sand can be used as a substrate. You can also add some large rocks for decoration.

Our shop always delivers healthy shrimp and fish with the best color of their own.

However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period

To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:

🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.

🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home. 

🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.

🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.

🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.

Perfect!

recently ordered a pair of Blue Balloon Rams from micro aquatic shop and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience! The ordering process was straightforward, and I appreciated the detailed information provided about the fish. They arrived in excellent condition, well-packaged and healthy, which speaks volumes about the store's commitment to quality.

The customer service was outstanding, with prompt responses to my inquiries and a friendly demeanor. They truly care about their customers and the well-being of their fish.

I highly recommend micro aquattic to anyone looking for quality aquatic life. I’m thrilled with my new Blue Balloon Rams and look forward to adding more fish from this fantastic store in my tank
