Tank Size:

  • Provide a tank of at least 20 gallons for a pair of Electric Blue Rams. A well-planted tank with hiding spots is ideal.

Water Parameters:

  • pH: Keep the pH level in the slightly acidic to neutral range, ideally between 6.0-7.0.
  • Hardness: Soft to slightly hard water is preferred, with a hardness range of 5-15 dGH.

Filtration:

Substrate and Decor:

  • Use fine gravel or sand as substrate to mimic their natural habitat.
  • Provide caves, rocks, and plants to create hiding spots. They appreciate a well-decorated aquarium.

Diet:

  • Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia.

Compatibility:
