No, new color form. They have a lot more blue than germans, but not so much that they lose the other colors like electric blues. I saw these at the store a few weeks ago and was drooling, which is odd since it's not a wild form. Here's the biggest male, there will be a nice blue sheen over the whole body once thehy settle in and the best part, they like the cobalt flake you sent.

I'm trying to get a full profile shot of the big guy but he's not so cooperative right now

They look more like a electric blue/ german blue cross

Nice fish. I really like Rams but the only ones I can find around here are the GBR and the bovilian Rams

The big guy is about 1 1/2".Their color is just like a German with blue overtones, it doesn't show well on camera yet because they aren't fully settled, but there is some orange on the nose.

Yeah I'm not liking this floramax crap much at all and neither does my HC.

If you google german blue ram x electric blue ram there is a video that shows them well. For some reason I can't link it.

By the way, you know how I'm always telling people not to use the spangling around the lateral spot trick for sexing? Here's 2 of my females

Soooo, I don't believe any of these guys know the meaning of monogamy, they are all still swimming together in a group and the females are getting ripe and very pink.

Wait until the girls pick their prom date! Best display I've ever seen, limited experience aside. I've seen my 2 fem apistos go at it and it's a quick rush and one backs down. My rams never backed down, it was awesome.
