For fishkeeping enthusiasts, how do you judge whether a fishkeeper is an expert? It comes down to whether they can keep blue rams well. And anyone who has heard of the blue ram's fame must know about the Avatar fish, so what is the difference between the two? Those who still do not know may as well take a look together.

I. The difference between the Avatar fish and the blue ram

There is no difference between the Avatar fish and the blue ram. The blue ram fish is the electric blue ram, a species produced through human intervention, with a blue body color. Because it resembles the color of the Avatar, it is also called the Avatar fish.

II. Tips for keeping blue rams

1. As a South American fish, the blue ram likes slightly acidic water, that is, soft water. However, at this stage the blue ram is already a captive-bred fish and does not have high water quality requirements; ordinary alkaline water can also be used to keep it.

2. The blue ram fish is only three or four centimeters long, so it is only suitable for mixed keeping with non-aggressive small tropical fish.

3. The blue ram fish is not a cave-spawning fish; it mainly spawns on plant leaves, including on driftwood, on stones, and even on the aquarium walls. So compared with a fish tank, it is more suitable for a planted tank.

4. The color of the male blue ram fish may be somewhat more blue, and its front few fins will be slightly taller, feeling like a few antennae, including the tail, which will trail a bit longer; the female blue ram fish is a little darker in color, its front fins will not be like antennae, and its body size is smaller than that of the male fish.
