These are not german blue rams!!!

True. These are the true Ram Cichlids aka M. Ramirezi. Not German Blue Rams.

German Blue Rams are line bred to bring out the intense blue you see. These however are the closest you and i will ever get to a wild caught Ram.

Well I sourced 4 of them 2 pairs, they are doing absolutely fine, hunting and eating the red cherry shrimps!!!
Yes they are taking each and every feed I am dropping in the tank, in their staple diet I have -
Hikari Cichild Bio Gold excel ( sorry if i messed up the name) crushed ones.
Hikari micro pellets
JBL pellets and also the shrimps buffet!!

And yes they are always in front for the food, I also have kept 6 purple harlequin rasboras as dither fishes, and please ensure one thing that you change at least 30% to 40% water weekly coz they are too much sensitive to ammonia and nitrate stuffs!!!

Well then starve them for 1-2 days and try feeding them with the flake foods, and temperature I hardly monitored, but guess will be less than 25c.
