In an effort to keep fish shipping as safe as possible, I am not currently listing fish for sale directly on the website. If you’re in an area with nighttime lows consistently above 50°F, email your zip code and which fish you want to info@dakuaquatics.com and I will check weather, shipping, and get back to you within 24 hours!
FYI - I only ship fish overnight via UPS Next Day Air.
The Black Ram are a stunning and unique variation of the popular German Blue Ram, distinguished by their deep, dark coloration with shades of black and dark blue. Their intense color contrasts beautifully with their delicate, flowing fins, making them a striking addition to any freshwater aquarium. Known for their peaceful nature and small size, Black Rams thrive in warm, stable environments and are perfect for community tanks with other gentle species.

Solid order. The Rams are acclimating nicely
Great looking, healthy, love the new tank mates!
After the wait of trying to find just the right temperature to get these guys out here to Arizona we finally managed it. Temps dropped just enough and they arrived safe and sound. Adjusted well to the new tank and are and are a delight to watch! They are definitely a favorite and I will be purchasing from here again.
