    They have the cutest shy personality I've seen. it's also amazing how though smallest out of the many south American. They hold their ground very well helping somehow balance the aggression.

They’re all babies so I’m assuming that’s why I’m getting away with it I hope the jewels play nice for some reason. 2 jewels and 4 EBAs, hoping the blues keep the peace in the tank aka the jewels off the tetra lol. They don’t bother a soul I’d be confident with full grown blues with tetra

    So… petsmart had my fish labeled as this but my “guy” is more stripped and has 3 yellow dots on the bottom fin. I’m getting a lot of mixed research on if it’s 1. Actually this kind of fish and 2. Of its male or female!?

    I have two small electric blues in a 150g. They get along well with two small oscars so far. I call them the blues brothers, but not sure if they are both males yet.

    I had 2 and they both died out of nowhere for no reason. Nothing in tank was attacking them. Just angelfish in tank. No clue what happened. Water was fine. Other fish are fine. No clear damage. 40 dollars gone but hey, that's the hobby. such beautiful fish tho

    We have one Acara fish for 4 years now. He is very aggressive and kills off all our other fish. He is now the only fish in our tank. We have tried other South African cichlids but he will kill them as well.

    Just out of curiosity, do you have an opinion on why the Electric Blue Acara has surpassed the popularity of the natural Blue Acara? I personally have always kept the natural Blues as I find them far more appealing.

      Because of the more vibrant and intense color. People are drawn to those qualities.

    What the smallest fish you would keep with the electric blue acara. I have a community tank with Mollies and I have been researching these fish for the past week because my local petstore just got some babies and I want to get one.

    • @jimlewis2428
      @jimlewis2428 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      An acara of reasonable size will definetly prey on mollies. I used to breed black mollies as feeder fish and you would be surprised how quickly a 5in acara will eat a handful of mollies. They mostly hunt at night, so you will notice the numbers drop overnight.

      @joshhopper6109 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Does this happen fairly soon after you get them from the pet store? If so it sounds like ich. If you have a quarantine tank set up I recommend keeping them in there for at least 2 weeks but a month would be best. If the fish looks healthy your good to go, but if the white spots show up add 1 table spoon of aquarium salt per every 2 gallons of water and run your tank temperature at about 80°. Bare bottom quarantine tank and 50% water changes every other to every third day and it should clear up quickly.
