My lfs has these. Are they peaceful? How big do they get? Can't find much info on the web.
 
They are peaceful to other fishes but are very territorial within their species.specially males. Please keep them in planted tanks

Anyone know how big they get?
 
it's a common name for a morph of (usually) Blue Rams(Ramirezi)usually either a long finned Ramirezi or a balloon long finned Ramirezi.

they will keep the same general temperament of the Ramirezi.. usually get along with tank mates..will hold their own in a discus/Angel Tank when housed with these species.. they also take well to dither fishes(tetras)..they can get pushy with other Ramirezi.
they will only get to about 2.5-2.75" bodies.*(sans the fins)
 
2.5 inches might be a little too big for my 34 G with 3 rams already. My rams "push" and ram each other around but never fights. Interestingly none of my rams have claimed a spot of its own. They each act like they own the whole tank. Funny to watch my tiny gold ram chase full grown barbs around the tank.
 
Mate the best way is to keep a group of rams.arnd 9 of them.. I kept 13 n they breeded:)

I'm curious why planted tanks...can you elaborate?
I keep them in lightly planted low maint tanks..with a lot of driftwood.
 
I assume the plants are a reference to creating a hardscape division of territories using plants instead of driftwood or rockwork.
 
could be, which is why I asked to elaborate ;)
plants are also used for water quality as well..but are not really needed with a properly hardscaped and maintained tank. ;)
