Quick Overview
The Electric Blue Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) is a stunning dwarf cichlid highly valued for its intense metallic blue coloration and peaceful personality. Native to South America, it is an excellent choice for a community aquarium with other calm and compatible fish.
It thrives in warm, clean water with stable parameters. A well-decorated aquarium with plants, driftwood, caves, and open swimming areas will help it feel secure and display its natural behavior. During breeding, pairs may become territorial while protecting their eggs and fry.
