Electric blue acara

[shellyx]

Hi, I've been looking at one of these guy's for a while and wondered if it would be a good choice for my elephant nose! He's in a 70g tank on his own and I've been pretty unsuccessful finding a companion. It needs to be peaceful but not overly shy as my guy does like to chase! If this isn't a good idea anyone have other suggestions?
Thanks

Should be fine, they'll dish it if needed but shouldn't be a bully.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll go and do some more reading, feeding is perfect it'll fit in right with what my elephant nose eats. Just didn't want anyone getting rough lol

There's no definite answer, cichlids temperaments can vary greatly, I keep 4, 3m 1f. They don't start problems but they don't back down either.

My guy is the same, did think gourami but not so sure? Or more elephants but he's just under 12 inches as we found out when we measured him , that's when I thought acara? I just need to carefully think about it.
