Show me your Blue Acara

[Rivers2k]

Blue Acara's seem to be getting more and more popular around me. I have yet to make up my mind on them. Seem to be cool little fish. Problem is I never see any that have blue on them? If you have a nice acara I would love to see yours.

Love that! Just saw them at lfs for first time ever! Could one go in a 37 gal u think w serpae and neon tetras and Cory cats?

In my opinion absolutely. I have heard stories of them eating what ever fits in their mouth so the neons may become an issue. Mine takes no interest in the tetras in the tank but only time will tell!

Same here, walked into a pet store not known for fish and couldn't resist! at $25 they are a bit pricey but Its more unique than anything else ive seen available for me.

Yeah they are unique by me also they are getting more and more common though. Only problem is I can't find any that are blue hahaha. Wonder if they exist.

Oh my.... that electric blue acara is stunning!!
How big do they get and whats the minimum size tank for them? Do they have issues like electric blue jack dempsey?
The standard blue acaras dont seem very colorful to be honest. Maybe its just a boring batch my lfs has though..
Thanks.

8mo ago got my first tank. 29g tiger barbs. Loved it so much after 5mo upgraded to a 75g! I am in the process of slowly stocking. Really want a variety of color. Right now have 5 tiger barbs and 5 emerald barbs. 2 rosey barbs, 2 denisoni barbs, 2 loplo catfish and my favorite an electric blue Acara. Water checks weekly with water changes. Parameters are all great. Went to store I've been working with and the got some baby electric blue acaras in. Mine is about 2 1/2 in long definitely a male. Not sure if I should get another. The have a pair in one of their tanks and they look awesome. Haven had any aggression issues, and with them being so small not able to determine sex yet. Do you think it's safe to put two together if the new one turns out to be male two? Will they get along or am I asking for trouble? Advise would be appreciated!
