I don't know anything about the rams, but may i just say that is the most fantastic avatar I have ever seen. hahaha omggg immortal and dark throne.....
I believe you are in the right spot.
Everyone feel free to correct me;
Blue Rams are a small cichlid. They aren't very aggressive, so they can be housed with small non aggressive fish like tetras, gourami, and maybe possibly live bearers. Very nice fish! I have some blue rams of my own. My LFS carries quite a good collection of different rams. They even just started carrying angel rams. Very nice fish.

Yes, they are definitely a small, less aggressive cichlid. And yes, they can be kept with those mentioned. I was more wondering where they are from....I need to know which sub-cichlid forum to post in.
Thanks for the posts guys

They are great little fish. Treat them like anglefish. They don't live that long. (~2-3 years.) Note there true name is: Mikrogeophagus ramirezi. From South America
There is a ton of info on the web about them.

They are M. ramirezi, commonly known as the blue ram.
The "German" title comes from those lines that were bred in Europe for more intense reds and blues.

really peaceful fish, my wife had a pair in a tetra/livebearer planted community and they never bothered anybody too much
