The Powder Blue Ram is a stunning dwarf cichlid known for its shimmering, sky-blue coloration and peaceful demeanor. A selectively bred variant of the German Blue Ram, this fish brings a striking yet elegant presence to freshwater aquariums. Despite their delicate appearance, Powder Blue Rams are active, social, and can coexist peacefully with other non-aggressive species. With proper care, they showcase vibrant colors and fascinating behaviors, making them a favorite among aquarists.

He was Professional and sent quality Rams.
I ordered two pairs of Powder Blue Rams from Daku, and they arrived looking absolutely beautiful. The color and quality of these fish are fantastic, and they were packaged extremely well for their trip across the country.
These are my first Rams, and Daku has been incredibly helpful. I reached out with a few questions after getting them settled in, and he took the time to look at my photos, answer my questions, and give me advice on their care and behavior as they settle in and start pairing up.
The Rams are active, eating well, and absolutely gorgeous. It’s obvious Daku cares about both the quality of the fish he produces and what happens to them after they leave him.
Very happy with the fish and the experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from Daku Aquatics again.
I received a pair of powder blue Rams in excellent condition. They have colored up beautifully. They are quite active in my quarantine tank. The Rams are a wonderful addition to my South American collection.
Beautiful and very healthy.
Better than expected, beautiful fish!
