The Gold Ram is a beautiful and striking variation of the popular German Blue Ram, known for its vibrant golden-yellow body with subtle hints of blue and orange. This small yet colorful cichlid brings a touch of elegance to any freshwater aquarium. Gold Rams are peaceful, intelligent, and social, making them ideal for community tanks with other non-aggressive species. Their peaceful nature and unique color pattern make them a favorite among aquarists looking to add a bit of luxury to their tanks.

The Gold Ram offers a unique twist on the classic German Blue Ram, adding a touch of brightness and elegance to your aquarium while being a rewarding fish to keep and observe.
I was hesitant having tropical fish mailed to me but few LFS have few interesting fish of quality. I started watching DAKU Facebook posts and gave them a try I was impressed by the professionalism and detailed information on acclimation..The fish I got were young and had superior conformation compared to LFTS the rams are thriving and since I have ordered their plants and botanicals that have surpassed my expectations.
I also got a couple pairs of the Blue Rams that are spectacular. Thanks again!
