Quick question. Are these German blue rams? The pale colour is throwing me off, there are a few nice looking fish in there however. Im looking to put two in my sons 40 gal. Currently housing small angelfish. Lfs has them labeled as "german rams", no staff knew anything other than the name tag and price. Im new to Cichlids.20211228_143823.jpg20211228_143818.jpg20211228_143809.jpg

When stressed (such as being packed into a small tank) cichlids will show washed out colors. Also, when young the colors won’t be as vibrant. Once in their own tank they should start to color up nicely.
