The new brilliantly blue color form of the Blue Ram, Mikrogeophagus ramirezi appeared on the market in late spring 2009 and there have been large quantities available for import from Asia and Germany. It is most likely that this colorful form is the result of careful breeding. Perhaps it began as a "sport" that appeared in a spawn and has been bred to be a pure color. The other possibility is that they were produced by careful cross breeding of the most colorful fish. Opinions vary widely about this fish as some people love them and others think they look totally artificial. I believe that you just need to make yup your own mind about these fish. They have been marketed under a number of common names including Electric Blue Ram and Neon Blue Rams. Some people have r reported having difficulty in finding females and speculate this is intentional to make breeding more difficult. However, others report fairly even sex rations. All agree that they are tougher to sex than standard Rams. Breeding is exactly the same as for other color forms but so far I have not found any accounts of successful parent rearing of this strain. This is not surprising as many fish that are artificially reared for many generations lose some of their instinct to parent. I expect that this color strain will become a common fish in the hobby and, although they are initially commanding a premium price, I expect that in the future they will be priced similar to the other forms.
