Samething, the German comes from the fact that they were first bred in Germany.

Blue Ram -- M. ramirezi

German Blue Ram -- M. ramirezi

Same fish, really.

Various trade names, depending on color variant and where it was bred / caught are: Butterfly Cichlid, Dwarf Cichlid, Ram, Ramirezi, Blue Ram, and Singapore Ram, Balloon Ram, German Blue Ram, German Ram, Gold German Ram, Golden Ram, and Blue German Ram

The difference is the quality of coloration, at least that's what I've observed and been told by my LFS. I have "both." They are the same fish though.
