The German Blue Ram is a selectively bred variant of the Blue Ram. They are best housed in groups of 5 or more individuals, as they would live in social groups in the wild. While they are peaceful towards other tank mates, they fight amongst themselves to establish a group hierarchy. Larger groups of fish help to spread out their in-fighting, which makes it easier on the group as a whole. They prefer aquariums with a sand, gravel or mixed substrate, plenty of plants and driftwood. Rocks, live plants and driftwood also work to create territory within the aquarium so that individuals can establish their own space within the tank.
Blue Rams are omnivores and will accept a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, frozen, and live. It is important to offer a variety of different food types to ensure they receive a balanced diet. They should be fed a couple of times per day and the amount that they will consume within five minutes.
