The electric blue ram is stunning in the tank. The color is vibrant and spreads evenly over the body. It’s very calm and doesn’t bother other small fish. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in a 10-gallon planted tank.

Beautiful fish with a unique metallic blue sheen. It’s active but not aggressive. Works well with my tetras and dwarf corydoras. The color is more intense than regular rams I’ve seen before.

Great addition to my community tank. The fish is peaceful and stays near the plants. The blue color is striking and stands out well in the water. Very happy with the purchase.
