Mikrogeophagus ramirezi „Electric Blue“

25. May 2009

The Ram is one of the most beautiful aquarium fishes. The wild Ram originates from the llanos of the Orinoco. The newest sport of this dwarf cichlids is blue all over the body. It is virtually impossible to illustrate this very special colour in a high resolution picture. Only reducing the resolution brings the effect to see the „Electric Blue“ coloration in a way as one sees the fish with bare eyes.
