These ones are terribly inbred, and are injected with hormones to make them colorful at a juvenile age. Because of this, most will die off in a few weeks, and in some cases, a few days. If you are looking to buy rams, either buy wild caught specimens, or true "german" blue rams. These rams, bred in germany, have been selectively bred so that they will have even more color when they are adults and so that they will be very hardy.
