Blue Ram - 5cm (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) (Live Fish)

Blue Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) are colourful South American dwarf cichlids admired for their shimmering blue and gold colouration, red accents, and distinctive dark facial markings. Their compact size and engaging personality make them a popular feature fish for planted aquariums and carefully selected community setups.

They thrive in warm, clean, stable water with gentle filtration, fine substrate, and plenty of plants, driftwood, rocks, and sheltered areas. Providing suitable hiding places and open areas for foraging helps reduce stress and allows them to display their natural behaviour. They may become territorial when spawning, so adequate space and compatible tankmates are important.

Feed a varied diet of quality dwarf cichlid pellets, micro foods, frozen, and live foods to support healthy growth and vibrant colouration.

Size, colour, pattern, sex, and appearance may vary.
