− | = | + | |sexing=:The male's front dorsal fin rays are much longer than the female's, forming a "spike." The dorsal fin of the male also tends to have a pointed shape near the caudal fin, where the female's is more rounded. Females are smaller and have a reddish tinge on their pelvic regions, especially when getting ready to spawn. Also, the black spot on the side of the female blue ram may have iridescent blue spangles throughout, and the male's tends to be solid black. |

− | + | |tank_compatibility=:Will generally work in peaceful community tanks with fast-moving fish or with other semi-aggressive South American Cichlids such as [[Angelfish]], however, they should be observed carefully as some individuals can be more feisty than others and have been known to turn against tank mates possibly with fatal consequences. | |
− | + | |diet=:Feed a variety of foods, including a good flake or pellet as a staple and the occasional fresh or frozen treat. | |
− | + | |environment_specifics=:A planted tank with dense foliage is preferred; however, artificial plants are also good. Rocks, such as slate or other elongated structures, are also recommended. Keep ammonia and nitrite at 0, nitrates must be below 10 ppm. | |

Can become territorial during breeding. Will occasionally display typical "cichlid" behaviour and go against their shy docile reputation, observe carefully. |
− | + | |identification=:A highly attractive and popular dwarf cichlid. Predominantly blue, with yellow and orange hues, mostly orange around the head and the through the fins, and a large black spot on either side of the flanks. | |
