Keeping Electric Blue Ram Cichlid in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 Liters (20 gallons) for a pair
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other small, non-aggressive fish. Avoid fin-nippers or overly boisterous tank mates. Good tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and otocinclus. Can be kept in pairs or small groups, but males can be territorial towards each other, especially during breeding.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with excellent water quality. Sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters and nitrates. Prefers a planted tank with plenty of hiding spots (caves, driftwood, broad-leafed plants). A fine sand substrate is ideal as they enjoy sifting through it. Good filtration with gentle flow is essential. Regular small water changes are crucial for their health and longevity.
