Long Fin Electric Blue Ram

Remarks:  These breath-taking rams have been selectively bred not only for their electric blue color that covers their whole body and fins, but also for long, flowing extensions on their fins. This makes them a truly elegant addition that stands outs beautifully against a dark background and plants. Note: These fish start out with shorter fins when they are young as their iconic long fins only develop upon maturity. As they grow, if in the right conditions, their fins will get longer and longer.    Rams have been popular in the hobby for decades for their brilliant colors and easy reproduction. They are small cichlids from South America that rarely grow larger than 2". Their name, "Small Eartheater," gives clues about their feeding mechanism: They sift sand through their mouths and gills, swallowing small bits of food. As such, sand is necessary for the long-term health of these fish. They require water warmer than most other fish, so it is advised to keep the water no colder than 80°
