The Neon Blue Ram is a selectively bred variant derived from the German Blue Ram, itself a color variant of the original wild Ram.

For optimal well-being, Rams thrive best when housed in groups of five or more, mirroring their social structure in the wild. Despite their peaceful nature towards other tank mates, Rams engage in intra-group fights to establish hierarchy. Maintaining larger groups helps distribute these interactions, promoting a more harmonious coexistence. They prefer aquariums with sand, gravel, or mixed substrate, enriched with plenty of plants, driftwood, rocks, and live plants. These elements contribute to the creation of territories within the aquarium, allowing individuals to establish their own space.

The Neon Blue Ram, being a selectively bred and farm-raised species, is accustomed to consuming commercially processed flake and pellet foods. They are generally considered aggressive feeders, eagerly swimming to the aquarium glass in anticipation of feeding when approached by the hobbyist.

As with many fish species, offering a variety of food items is essential to provide the necessary vitamins and minerals for a robust immune system. Ideal food options include meaty flakes, mini-pellets, freeze-dried worms, and frozen brine shrimp. Feeding them a couple of times a day, providing an amount consumed within five minutes, ensures their nutritional requirements are met.
