Blue Arca

Selling size 2cm

?The average Blue Acara lifespan is between 8-10 years in captivity. In the wild, this fish can live double that!

?The name of the Blue Acara does a great job summarizing their appearance. When you see these fish swimming it looks like shiny blue neon!

These fish are primarily light and shiny blue with some subtle details that add to their glimmer. On the side of their bodies, you’ll typically see a bit of faded yellow more toward the front half.

?In terms of their build, Blue Acara have the standard cichlid body. Their bodies are long, and about average in terms of thickness.

?The average size of Blue Acara is somewhere between 6 and 7 inches in length. This is a very manageable size and allows them to be comfortable in a fairly average tank.

? Tank set up:

The recommended tank size for the Blue Acara is 30 gallons. This will give them enough space to swim and be active. We’ve heard of people putting them in slightly smaller tanks, but we strongly discourage that.

The water parameters to best mimic the natural environment are as follows:

• Temperature: 72-82°F
• pH range: 6.0-7.5
• Water hardness: 6-20dGH
• Moderate to subdued lighting
• Slow to moderate water current

A mix of gravel and sand can be used as a substrate. You can also add some large rocks for decoration.
