Long Fin German Blue Rams

The Long Fin German Blue Ram is a stunning dwarf cichlid prized for its brilliant blue iridescence, golden body, vivid red highlights, and elegant flowing fins. This long-fin variety offers all the beauty of the classic German Blue Ram with even more graceful finnage, making it a true centrepiece for planted and peaceful community aquariums.

Despite their striking appearance, Long Fin German Blue Rams are peaceful, intelligent fish with plenty of personality. They thrive in warm, stable aquariums and are a favourite among aquascaping enthusiasts due to their vibrant colours and calm temperament.

At Ottawa Tropical Fish, our Long Fin German Blue Rams are carefully imported from Singapore, quarantined, and monitored to ensure they are healthy, active, and ready for their new home.
