Physical Characteristics
- Color:A vivid, intense electric blue.
- Body:A robust, tall, and stout, "balloon-shaped" body, a result of selective breeding.
- Fins:Can have long, flowing fins, depending on the specific variant.
- Eyes:Often have bright red eyes, providing a striking contrast to the blue body.
- Size:Adults typically reach about 2-3 inches in length.
Temperament & Behavior
- Peaceful:Generally a peaceful and social fish, suitable for community tanks with other small, non-aggressive fish.
- Territorial:Can become territorial, especially during the breeding period, and will defend their territory and eggs.
- Monogamous:They tend to form monogamous pairs.
Care Requirements
- Diet:Omnivores that thrive on a diet of high-quality flake foods, sinking pellets, and frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp.
- Tank Conditions:Require pristine water quality, soft to moderately hard water with a neutral pH, and slightly elevated temperatures (75-82°F).
- Aquarium Setup:A planted tank with plenty of dense plants, driftwood, caves, and hiding places is ideal.
- Tank Size:A minimum tank size of 20 gallons is recommended.
Key Considerations
- Delicate Nature:As a selectively bred variant, they are more sensitive than their wild counterparts and require careful attention to water quality, making their care level intermediate to advanced.
- Reduced Fertility:Color and shape variants of the Ram Cichlid, including the Electric Blue Balloon, are known to have reduced fertility compared to wild types.
